Summary:
"The word
renaissance
means "rebirth," and the most obvious example of this phenomenon was the regeneration of
Europe
's classical Roman roots. The
Renaissance
began in northern Italy in the late 14th century and culminated in England in the early 17th century. Emphasis on the dignity of man (though not of woman) and on human potential distinguished the
Renaissance
from the previous Middle Ages. In poetry and literature, individual thought and action were prevalent, while depictions of the human form became a touchstone of
Renaissance
art. In science and medicine the macrocosm and microcosm of the human condition inspired remarkable strides in research and discovery, and the Earth itself was explored, situating Europeans within a wider realm of possibilities." "Each chapter includes an extensive bibliography, and photographs and maps complement the text.
Handbook

life
in
Renaissance
Europe
provides all the essential information required by anyone interested in European
Renaissance
history, society, or culture."--BOOK JACKET.
