The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy

This authoritative study by a distinguished scholar presents a brilliant panorama of Italian Renaissance life, explaining how and why the period constituted a cultural revolution. It traces the influences of classical antiquity on the age's thinkers and artists and chronicles the revival of humanism, the conflict between church and empire, and the rise of both the modern state and the modern individual.

With this 1860 classic, Swiss historian Carl Jacob Christoph Burckhardt (1818-97) revolutionized both the understanding of the Italian Renaissance and the field of cultural history. Departing from the traditional focus on political and military history, Burckhardt examined people's lives, including their religion, art, and literature.
