Reconceiving the Renaissance

the long version

"Collecting in one volume the classic and cutting-edge statements that define early modern scholarship as it is now practised, this book is a one-stop resource for all students of the Renaissance. Through an array of arguments by the world's leading experts, the Renaissance emerges invigorated, while the suggestive shorter extracts, topical questions, and engaged editorial introductions give students the wherewithal and encouragement to do some reconceiving themselves."--Jacket.
