The Renaissance in Scotland: Studies in Literature, Religion, History and Culture Offered to John Durkan: Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 54

Contribuţii de John Durkan Editat de A.A. MacDonald, Michael Lynch, Ian B. Cowan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 iul 1994
The Renaissance in Scotland is a collection of original essays on a wide range of topics concerning the cultural history of Scotland. The period concerned extends from the late fifteenth through to the early seventeenth century.
The individual studies take various aspects of culture as their starting-points: literature; the history of manuscripts and printed books; libraries; the law; the universities; music; education; social, political and ecclesiastical history. The essays, however, all take full account of the larger context provided by the age of humanism and reform, as this was manifested in Scotland.
The Renaissance in Scotland contains an abundance of new information and offers many challenging new insights and interpretations. It will be of interest to all those concerned with the cultural and intellectual history of Scotland and of northern Europe in general.

Recenzii

"The approaches of the 21 contributors, both clergymen and laity, mostly from Glasgow and Edinburgh, are various but the results are uniformly interesting. Students of literature and history, social and political and cultural trends, manuscripts and librarianship, etc., should see this highly informative contribution to Scottish studies."
Bibliothèque d'humanisme et renaissance, 1995.

"...a real goldmine of a volume, utterly indispensable to any scholar whose range takes him right through fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Scotland; there are gems of analysis and information in every article, and it is a book to return to again and again."
Jenny Wormald, EHR, 1997.
