Summary: "A Short History of the Renaissance is a new edition of The Renaissance in Europe previously published by Laurence King Press and McGraw Hill. Readers will learn not only about the Renaissance that unfolded in Europe between 1300 and 1700, but also about the problem of cultural renewal: why it happens; why its energies are momentous, and how it changes everything all around it. This illustrated overview is a social history of the Renaissance in Europe. There are over 100 colour images. Key terms are defined in the Introduction. There are 25 Focus questions that expand on a specific topic such as Florence, prostitutes, and women and love. The 22 Voices features offer students the opportunity to read primary sources. 18 miniboxes contain statistical information. The book included timelines, a glossary, and Suggested Readings."-- Provided by publisher

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Writing about the Renaissance can be a daunting task. Not only do scholars disagree on what the Renaissance is, but they also disagree on whether or not it even took place. Margaret L. King's richly illustrated social history of the Renaissance succeeds as a trusted resource, introducing readers to Europe between 1300-1700, as well as to the problems of cultural renewal. A Short History of the Renaissance in Europe includes a detailed discussion of Burckhardt as well as new content on European contact with the Islamic world. This new edition also provides improved coverage of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. "Focus" features provide fascinating insights into the Renaissance era, and "Voices" sections introduce a wealth of primary sources. King's engaging narrative is enhanced by over 100 images, statistical tables, timelines, a glossary, and suggested readings.
