Originally published in 1967, this book discusses some key writers
of the Renaissance: Machiavelli, Castiglione, Bacon and Hobbes and
compares their work by relating it that of others in England and
elsewhere. Chapters on Bacon contain references to Galileo and
Descartes; the chapter on Castiglione also touches on Montaigne.
The book also contrasts various currents of thought in the
Renaissance with their medieval counterparts or forerunners. The
volume isolates the great themes, or revolutionary shifts in as
they manifest themselves in the work of important writers and
thinkers.
