Summary:
"An original, illuminating history of the northern European
Renaissance
in art, science, and philosophy, which often rivaled its Italian counterpart. It is generally accepted that the European
Renaissance
began in Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This "Other
Renaissance
" was initially centered on the city of
Bruges
in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, London, and even in Italy itself. The northern
Renaissance
, like the southern
Renaissance
, largely took place during the period between the end of the Medieval age (circa mid-14th century) and the advent of the Age of Enlightenment (circa end of 17th century). Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de' Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck, and Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this "Other
Renaissance
" played as significant a role as the Italian
Renaissance
in bringing our modern world into being."
Paul Strathern is a Somerset Maugham Award-winning novelist, and his nonfiction works include The Venetians, Death in Florence, The Medici, Mendeleyev's Dream, The Florentines, Empire, and The Borgias, all available from Pegasus Books. He lives in England.
