Topics covered include humanism, war, religion, the civilization of the Renaissance, art and architecture in northern and southern Europe, the performing arts, vernacular literature, science, craft, and technology. The final chapter, on the global Renaissance, examines the world beyond Europe, from the cultural interchanges with Spanish America to Renaissance Europe's fertile encounter with the Ottomans and the peoples of Asia"--Publisher's description. |
