The concept of a 'Renaissance' in the arts, in thought, and in more
general culture North of the Alps often evokes the idea of a
cultural transplant which was not indigenous to, or rooted in, the
society from which it emerged. Classic definitions of the European
'Renaissance' during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries have seen it
as what was in effect an Italian import into the Gothic North. Yet
there were certainly differences, divergences and dichotomies
between North and South which have to be addressed. Here, Malcolm
Vale argues for a Northern Renaissance which, while cognisant of
Italian developments, displayed strong continuities with the
indigenous cultures of northern Europe. But it also contributed
novelties and innovations which often tended to stem from, and
build upon, those continuities. A Short History of the Renaissance
in Northern Europe - while in no way ignoring or diminishing the
importance of the Hellenic and Roman legacy - seeks other sources,
and different uses of classical antiquity, for a rather different
kind of 'Renaissance', if such it was, in the North.
