Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this brilliant and widely acclaimed work, Peter Burke presents a social and cultural history of the Italian Renaissance. He discusses the social and political institutions which existed in Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and analyses the ways of thinking and seeing which characterized this period of extraordinary artistic creativity.

Synopsis:

The art of translating private troubles into public issues is in danger of falling into disuse and of being forgotten. The argument of this volume is that making the translation possible again is an urgent and vital imperative for the renewal of politics today.
