Description
The Oxford History of the Renaissance provides a comprehensive overview of this pivotal period in European history. Traditionally viewed as a revival of classical art and learning, the Renaissance has undergone significant revisions in recent decades. This volume broadens the narrative to encompass a broader cultural landscape, spanning from 13th-century Italy to the waning of Spain's 'golden age' in the 1630s. Under Gordon Campbell's expert editorial guidance, the book explores the full gamut of Renaissance civilization, covering topics such as humanism and the classical tradition, war and the state, religion, art and architecture, literature, craft and technology, science and medicine, and travel and cultural exchange. Spanning geographically from Spanish America to Renaissance Europe's encounter with the Ottomans, this history offers a nuanced understanding of the period. With 544 pages, this paperback edition provides an in-depth examination of the Renaissance, shedding light on its complexities and nuances.
