With an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the history of
ideas, political history, cultural history and art history, this
volume, in the successful Routledge Worlds series, offers a
sweeping survey of Europe in the Renaissance, from the late
thirteenth to early seventeenth centuries, and shows how the
Renaissance laid key foundations for many aspects of the modern
world.
Collating thirty-four essays from the field's leading scholars,
John Jeffries Martin shows that this period of rapid and complex
change resulted from a convergence of a new set of social, economic
and technological forces alongside a cluster of interrelated
practices including painting, sculpture, humanism and science, in
which the elites engaged.
Unique in its balance of emphasis on elite and popular culture,
on humanism and society, and on women as well as men, The
Renaissance World grapples with issues as diverse as Renaissance
patronage and the development of the slave trade.
Beginning with a section on the antecedents of the Renaissance
world, and ending with its lasting influence, this book is an
invaluable read, which students and scholars of history and the
Renaissance will dip into again and again.
