In the nineteenth century, the Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt
famously defined the Renaissance as a period of progress, reason,
the emergence of the individual, and the beginning of modernity. In
this book, William Caferro asks how accurate Burckhardt's
definition was and summarizes recent scholarly debates about the
nature of the Renaissance. Caferro's account engages with a range
of specific controversies, including: the nature of the Renaissance
(wo)man; whether or not the Renaissance was a period of prosperity;
and how the relationship between reason and faith altered during
this period. The book takes a balanced approach to the many
different problems and perspectives that characterize Renaissance
studies.
