Italy in the Age of Renaissance offers a new introduction to the
most celebrated period of Italian history in twelve essays by
leading and innovative scholars. Recent scholarship has enriched
our understanding of Renaissance Italy by adding new themes and
perspectives that have challenged the traditional picture of a
largely secular and elite world of humanists, merchants, patrons,
and princes. These new themes encompass both social and cultural
history (the family, women, lay religion, the working classes,
marginal social groups) as well as new dimensions of political
history that highlight the growth of territorial states, the powers
and limits of government, the representation of power in art and
architecture, the role of the South, and the dialogue between elite
and non-elite classes. This thematically organized volume
introduces readers to the fruitful interaction between the more
traditional topics in Renaissance studies and the new, broader
approach to the period that has developed in the last generation.
