Drawing together the latest research in the field, The Routledge
History of the Renaissance treats the Renaissance not as a static
concept, but as one of ongoing change within an international
framework. It takes as its unifying theme the idea of exchange and
interchange through the movement of goods, ideas, disease and
people, across social, religious, political and physical
boundaries. Covering a broad range of temporal periods and
geographic regions, the chapters discuss topics such as the
material cultures of Renaissance societies; the increased
popularity of shopping as a pastime in fourteenth-century Italy;
military entrepreneurs and their networks across Europe; the
emergence and development of the Ottoman empire from the early
fourteenth to the late sixteenth century; and women and humanism in
Renaissance Europe. The volume is interdisciplinary in nature,
combining historical methodology with techniques from the fields of
anthropology, sociology, psychology and literary criticism. It
allows for juxtapositions of approaches that are usually segregated
into traditional subfields, such as intellectual, political,
gender, military and economic history. Capturing dynamic new
approaches to the study of this fascinating period and illustrated
throughout with images, figures and tables, this comprehensive
volume is a valuable resource for all students and scholars of the
Renaissance.
