No period has been more discussed, dissected and argued over than
the Renaissance, and every age has reconstructed it in its own
image. Today's emphasis is on its complexity - the way ideas,
politics, religion, society, art and science depended upon and
affected one another. The Renaissance Complete does away with
watertight divisions by means of a lucid, innovatory system of
cross-references and brings the image to centre stage. The
fascinating range of topics covered includes the revival of
classical learning, the printing press, the rise of the
nation-state, philosophy and the role of women. The scope is
all-embracing: Italy, France, Spain, Britain, Germany and the
northern countries; courts and patrons, painters and sculptors,
churchmen and traders, men, women and children. Over 1,000
illustrations are carefully focused on over 100 key topics,
subject-matter taking precedence over art history. An impressive
information resource provides biographies, timelines, bibliography,
a gazetteer of museums and galleries and an illustrated glossary.
