Description for Renaissance Humanism: An Anthology of Sources
Hardback. Num Pages: 384 pages. BIC Classification: HPCB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 236 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 658.
By far the best collection of sources to introduce readers to Renaissance humanism in all its many guises. What distinguishes this stimulating and useful anthology is the vision behind it: King shows that Renaissance thinkers had a lot to say, not only about the ancient world--one of their habitual passions--but also about the self, how civic experience was configured, the arts, the roles and contributions of women, the new science, the 'new' world, and so much more. --Christopher S. Celenza, Johns Hopkins University

Reviews for Renaissance Humanism: An Anthology of Sources
"An invigorating introduction to Renaissance humanism, both its 'core' and its periphery. Especially welcome is the attention given to women and other worlds. King is a lively and succinct writer who knows how to draw her readers into the big picture while entertaining them with the scintillating detail."
