Thirteen of the most important critical essays on the Italian
Renaissance are brought together in this volume. Designed to
introduce readers to both recent and classical interpretations, the
collection provides an ideal starting point for study of this
period.
Topics covered include the structures of power, urban life and
values, gender, family and society, the power of knowledge, and
patronage and art. Taken together, the readings illuminate the
origins, course and outcome of the Italian Renaissance.
Editorial introductions and annotations to each essay provide a
helpful framework for students engaging with critical aspects of
the subject for the first time. An overall introduction discusses
the themes and approaches that have dominated the recent
historiography of the Renaissance, as well as the debates about how
to define the Renaissance and its relationship to Italy; it also
considers different approaches to the 'end' of the Renaissance.
