This classic work marks the culmination of a definite stage in the
socio-economic historiography from the late Middle Ages to the rise
of the haute bourgeoisie in the early Renaissance. Here Alfred von
Martin attempts to discover and define the spirit or essence of the
Renaissance, and with it the spirit of early capitalism as it arose
in Florence. His analysis focuses on the capitalist haute bourgeois
who represented the economically, politically, and culturally
dominant class of the Renaissance. As he shows, eventually its
decline brings about a new stasis in the aristocratization of the
great bourgeoisie as well as the rise of despotism in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The shift from an agricultural
to a commercial economy was unquestionably one of the essential
elements in the transition from medieval to Renaissance
civilization. This book's republication is a welcome development
and will make this classic accessible again to scholars of the
Renaissance and Renaissance humanism. In addition to its new
introduction, it also includes a bibliography of von Martin's
extensive writings.
