Descriere

For history and humanities courses on Renaissance Europe.
Representative—rather than comprehensive—this concise and lively history of Europe between 1300 and 1500 provides brief introductions to the major personalities, issues, events, and ideas of the Age of Renaissance—emphasizing people of all ages and both genders.
It offers fuller coverage of the same topics presented in the author's combined Renaissance-Reformation edition, and can be used effectively with collections of sources and/or scholarly monographs.
