The Renaissance in Italy continues to exercise a powerful hold on
the popular imagination and on scholarly enquiry. This Companion
presents a lively, comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and current
approach to the period that extends in Italy from the turn of the
fourteenth century through the latter decades of the sixteenth.
Addressed to students, scholars, and non-specialists, it introduces
the richly varied materials and phenomena as well as the different
methodologies through which the Renaissance is studied today both
in the English-speaking world and in Italy. The chapters are
organized around axes of humanism, historiography, and cultural
production, and cover a wide variety of areas including literature,
science, music, religion, technology, artistic production, and
economics. The diffusion of the Renaissance throughout Italian
territories is emphasized. Overall, the Companion provides an
essential overview of a period that witnessed both a significant
revalidation of the classical past and the development of new,
vernacular, and increasingly secular values.
