Opis

Challenging some of the popularly-held views on the Renaissance period, this book draws equal attention to the strangeness and often unresolved tensions that lay beneath the surface of that culture. Insisting on a European rather than purely Italian viewpoint, it embraces Renaissance thinking and culture in all its diversity.
