Book Description
In this vigorous and provocative collection the concept of the Renaissance is interrogated through the work of modern scholars. The questions posed concentrate on the themes of the source and dispersal of the Renaissance in response to Jacob Burckhardt's 1860 work, The Civilisation of the Renaissance in Italy, long held as the definitive work about the period. It asks: is there a unified concept of the Renaissance; is it a cultural phenomenon or an historical period; what factors determined the reception of Renaissance culture in particular areas and disciplines?
