Description
The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy by Jacob Burckhardt In the 19th century, Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt saw the Italian Renaissance as a pivotal moment in the creation of the modern world. He argued that the flourishing individualism and competition for fame in Italy during this period had a profound impact on science, the arts, and politics. Burckhardt's landmark work explores the Italian city-states of Florence, Venice, and Rome, tracing the rise of the creative individual from Dante to Michelangelo. This book offers a fascinating insight into an era of cultural transition, where the seeds of a new form of society were being sown. Published by National Geographic Books, this reissue of Burckhardt's work is part of the Penguin Classics series, which represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
