The Renaissance

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Renaissance, then keep reading...   "Renaissance" is the French word for "rebirth," which is given to the period of time between the 14th and 17th centuries in Europe when there was a marked resurgence in classical art, education, philosophy, architecture, and natural sciences. Once more, the former Roman territories embraced the writings of ancient Greeks and Romans, and the idea of humanism. This rebirth marks the end of the Dark Ages and the beginning of the long march toward modernity.   In those precious centuries, astronomers redefined the way we view our place in the solar system and the universe. Writers and scholars gave us new ways of thinking about the human condition, the self, and the community. Artists found new methods of expression, and architects used classical pieces in their contemporary churches, palaces, and public buildings. Science leaped forward, once more able to match the level of Arab and Muslim intellectuals in terms of math and experimental philosophies.   At its heart, the Renaissance marked a widespread stability that Europe had not known for centuries, coupled with an inevitable desire of people everywhere to learn and express themselves. Education and economic stability transformed Europe into a beacon of high culture that eventually led to the Enlightenment and the Modern Age as we know it.   In  The Renaissance: A Captivating Guide to a Remarkable Period in European History, Including Stories of People Such as Galileo Galilei, Michelangelo, Copernicus, Shakespeare, and Leonardo da Vinci, you will discover topics such as:   A Brief Look at PreRenaissance Europe   The Black Death   The Italian Renaissance   The Fall of Constantinople   The Printing Press   Literature of the 15th Century   The New Education   The Medicis of Florence and France   The Dutch and Flemish Painting Revolution   Leonardo da Vinci   Michelangelo   Copernicus   The Reformation   The Spanish Inquisition and Renaissance   France and the Wars of Religion   Arts and Politics Across Renaissance Europe   The Age of Discovery   Women's Education   Galileo Galilea   English Renaissance Under the Tudors   Shakespeare, Lully, and the New Art   Seers and Prophets   The Medical Renaissance   The Persecuted Intellectuals   In the Years Following the Renaissance   And much, much more!     So if you want to learn more about the Renaissance, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
