Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Germany's bourgeois
elites became enthralled by the civilization of Renaissance Italy.
As their own country entered a phase of critical socioeconomic
changes, German historians and writers reinvented the Italian
Renaissance as the onset of a heroic modernity: a glorious dawn
that ushered in an age of secular individualism, imbued with
ruthless vitality and a neo-pagan zest for beauty. The Italian
Renaissance in the German Historical Imagination is the first
comprehensive account of the debates that shaped the German idea of
the Renaissance in the seven decades following Jacob Burckhardt's
seminal study of 1860. Based on a wealth of archival material and
enhanced by more than one hundred illustrations, it provides a new
perspective on the historical thought of Imperial and Weimar
Germany, and the formation of a concept that is still with us
today.
