Notes Summary: "A Short History of the Renaissance is a new edition of The Renaissance in Europe previously published by Laurence King Press and McGraw Hill. Readers will learn not only about the Renaissance that unfolded in Europe between 1300 and 1700, but also about the problem of cultural renewal: why it happens; why its energies are momentous, and how it changes everything all around it. This illustrated overview is a social history of the Renaissance in Europe. There are over 100 colour images. Key terms are defined in the Introduction. There are 25 Focus questions that expand on a specific topic such as Florence, prostitutes, and women and love. The 22 Voices features offer students the opportunity to read primary sources. 18 miniboxes contain statistical information. The book included timelines, a glossary, and Suggested Readings."-- Provided by publisher
