For history and humanities courses on Renaissance Europe.
Representative-rather than comprehensive-this concise and lively history of Europe between 1300 and 1500 provides brief introductions to the major personalities, issues, events, and ideas of the Age of Renaissance-emphasizing people of all ages and both genders.
It offers fuller coverage of the same topics presented in the author's combined Renaissance-Reformation edition, and can be used effectively with collections of sources and/or scholarly monographs.
