Description: "In this collection the concept of the Renaissance is interrogated through the work of scholars who have supported or queried the ideas formulated in Jacob Burckhardt's classic study The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, or developed alternative interpretations.".

"The Reader addresses the themes of humanism, structures of authority, and levels of culture among different social orders and between men and women. And it examines what Burckhardt's 'discovery of the individual' really meant for the construction of self in the late medieval and early modern context."--BOOK JACKET.
