It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in
Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude
also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This 'Other
Renaissance' was initially centred on the city of Bruges in
Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in
France, the German states, England, and even in Italy itself.
Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus,
Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck and
Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this
'Other Renaissance' played as significant a role as the Italian
renaissance in bringing our modern world into being.
