Renaissance military memoirs studied for what they reveal of
contemporary attitudes towards war, selfhood and identity. This is
a study of autobiographical writings of Renaissance soldiers. It
outlines the ways in which they reflect Renaissance cultural,
political and historical consciousness, with a particular focus on
conceptions of war, history,selfhood and identity. A vivid picture
of Renaissance military life and military mentality emerges, which
sheds light on the attitude of Renaissance soldiers both towards
contemporary historical developments such as the rise of the modern
state, and towards such issues as comradeship, women, honor,
violence, and death. Comparison with similar medieval and
twentieth-century material highlights the differences in the
Renaissance soldier's understanding of war and of human experience.
