Renaissance Humanism An Anthology of Sources

Margaret L. King, "Renaissance Humanism: An Anthology of Sources"
English | 2014 | pages: 378 | ISBN: 1624661114, 1624661122 | PDF | 3,7 mb
By far the best collection of sources to introduce readers to Renaissance humanism in all its many guises. What distinguishes this stimulating and useful anthology is the vision behind it: King shows that Renaissance thinkers had a lot to say, not only about the ancient world-one of their habitual passions-but also about the self, how civic experience was configured, the arts, the roles and contributions of women, the new science, the ‘new’ world, and so much more. -Christopher S.
