«The Sicilian Vespers» is Steven Runciman's historical essay, published in paperback in 2012 (368 pages, in English).
Runciman reconstructs the revolt of March 30, 1282, when the Sicilians of Palermo rose against the garrison and administration of their Angevin king, and turns it into the climax of a journey through the thirteenth-century Mediterranean. The book provides context for the historical figures Dante includes in the Divine Comedy.
Work originally published in 1958; this 2012 edition belongs to the Canto Classics series and includes bibliographical references and an index.
For readers of medieval history, especially those interested in Sicily, the thirteenth-century Mediterranean and the historical background of the Divine Comedy.
