Summary "Ravenna, a Study" by Edward Hutton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the significance of Ravenna in the context of Italy and European history, particularly during the tumultuous period known as the Dark Ages. Hutton aims to illuminate Ravenna's unique geographical and political importance, arguing that it played a crucial role during the decline of the Roman administration and the rise of new powers. The opening of the book sets the stage for Hutton’s exploration by detailing Ravenna's geographical location and its transformation throughout centuries. Hutton describes the city as enigmatic and beautiful, surrounded by marshes and the Adriatic Sea, emphasizing its role as a refuge for emperors and a strategic military point. He illustrates Ravenna's historical prominence, tracing its significance from the time of Julius Caesar through the fall of the western Roman Empire, and establishes a thesis that Ravenna's political and military importance was largely due to its strategic positioning between Italy and Cisalpine Gaul. Overall, this introduction prepares the reader for a deeper analysis of Ravenna's historical narrative within the broader context of European civilization.
