One of the most famous and prestigious of Renaissance schools,
Italy's University of Padua attracted a notable body of students
from England, including such well-known alumni as Thomas Linacre,
Thomas Starkey, and William Harvey. In this work Jonathan Woolfson
looks at the reasons why so many Englishmen went to Padua, what
they did there, and most importantly, the various ways in which
their studies had an impact on Tudor life and thought. Covering a
formidable range of intellectual history, Woolfson explores the
complex processes of cultural transmission between Italy and
England in the areas of humanism, law, political thought, medicine,
and natural philosophy. An impressive feature of the book is its
biographical register of English visitors to Padua, which comprises
349 separate entries drawn from extensive archival research in
Italy and England. From the collective biography that results, as
well as from textual studies, Woolfson argues that Padua influenced
England in ways that were profound and enduring, but also extremely
diverse and sometimes surprising.
