The masterpiece of Britain's leading Renaissance scholar. Winner of
the Time-Life Silver Pen Award and The Royal Society of Literature
Award. 'A superb evocation of the Europe of the "long
16th-century", wonderfully fresh and rich in its copious
illustrative detail, full of innumerable delights. The book is the
summation of John Hale's career as a historian, and as the crowning
achievement of a master-designer whose richly fabricated works have
given so much pleasure.' John Elliot, Regius Professor of Modern
History at Oxford. 'The Civilisation of Europe in the Renaissance'
is the most ambitious achievement of Britain's leading Renaissance
historian. John Hale has painted on a grand canvas an enthralling
portrait of Europe and its civilisation at a moment when 'Europe'
first became an entity in the minds of its inhabitants. John Hale's
Renaissance has no compartments. With astonishing range and
subtlety of learning, he paints a gigantic picture of the age,
enlivened by a multiplicity of themes, people and ideas. It
contains memorable descriptions of painting, sculpture, poetry,
architecture and music, but Hale is not simply concerned with the
arts. He examines the dramatic changes during the period in
religion, politics, economics and global discoveries. And
throughout his book approaches the art of war and the art created
for princes from the point of view of their impact on the
imaginations, sensibilities and lives of ordinary people.
