More Description
"By far the best collection of sources to introduce readers to Renaissance humanism in all itsnbsp;many guises. What distinguishes this stimulating and useful anthology is the vision behind it:nbsp;King shows that Renaissance thinkers had a lot to say, not only about the ancient world--one ofnbsp;their habitual passions--but also about the self, how civic experience was configured, the arts, thenbsp;roles and contributions of women, the new science, the 'new' world, and so much more."nbsp;--Christopher S. Celenza, Johns Hopkins University
"A rich and coherent collection of primary sources spanning the 14th to the 17th centuries andnbsp;the breadth of Europe. . . . Teachers will welcome this text for classes on the Renaissance andnbsp;intellectual history. Students will benefit from King's thoughtful introductions to each authornbsp;and work as well as suggestions for further reading and research in the appendix."nbsp;--Nancy Bisaha, Vassar College
