In this updated edition of his classic account, Charles Nauert
charts the rise of humanism as the distinctive culture of the
social, political and intellectual elites in Renaissance Europe. He
traces humanism's emergence in the unique social and cultural
conditions of fourteenth-century Italy and its gradual diffusion
throughout the rest of Europe. He shows how, despite its elitist
origins, humanism became a major force in the popular culture and
fine arts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the
powerful impact it had on both the Protestant and Catholic
Reformations. He uses art and biographical sketches of key figures
to illuminate the narrative and concludes with an account of the
limitations of humanism at the end of the Renaissance. The revised
edition includes a new section dealing with the place of women in
humanistic culture and an updated bibliography. It will be
essential reading for all students of Renaissance Europe.
