HAY, DENYS: THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE in its historical background, Cambridge At the University Press 1970 ; weicher Einband / soft cover ISBN: 0521093988
0521093988 Good copy

Cover design by Michael Harvey. Professor Hay provides a clear picture of what the Renaissance was, what it meant and how it spread. He shows the Renaissance as a growing and changing series of attitudes and ideas, rooted firmly in the general history of the period, and not as a static and isolated phenomenon. Most current ideas of the Italian Renaissance are derived from Burckhardt's 'Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy', published in 1860. Professor Hay provides a completely fresh appraisal which goes back to the basic texts, to the great monuments of art and architecture, to the men - Boccaccio, Petrarch and the others - and their achievements: the essence of which historical movements are made. He has taken note of recent Italian scholarship and provides a fresh and readable account of one of the great epochs in European history. Contents: 1). Introduction. 2). The Renaissance as a period in European history. 3). The problems of Italian history. 4). Politics and culture in Fourteenth Century Italy. 5). The nature of Renaissance values in the Fifteenth Century. 6). The reception of the Renaissance in Italy. 7). The reception of the Renaissance in the north. With notes, list of references, index, a maps and 24 illustrations. XII + 217 + (1) pag. Reprint of the 1966 edition Cover illustrated Paperback 20,5cmx13,5cm; Reprint of the 1966 edition
