The word renaissance means "rebirth," and the most obvious example
of this phenomenon was the regeneration of Europe's classical Roman
roots. The Renaissance began in northern Italy in the late 14th
century and culminated in England in the early 17th century.
Emphasis on the dignity of man (though not of woman) and on human
potential distinguished the Renaissance from the previous Middle
Ages. In poetry and literature, individual thought and action were
prevalent, while depictions of the human form became a touchstone
of Renaissance art. In science and medicine the macrocosm and
microcosm of the human condition inspired remarkable strides in
research and discovery, and the Earth itself was explored,
situating Europeans within a wider realm of possibilities.
Organized thematically, the Handbook to Life in Renaissance Europe
covers all aspects of life in Renaissance Europe: History;
religion; art and visual culture; architecture; literature and
language; music; warfare; commerce; exploration and travel; science
and medicine; education; daily life.
