Editorial Reviews
Review
"Taken together, the essays offer a very good, accessible overview of this important movement in the history of intellectual enterprises....an impressive array of essays...I would not hesitate to place the book in the hands of bright undergraduate and beginning graduate students." The Sixteenth Century Journal

Product Description
Beginning as a movement based on the recovery of ancient texts, and archaeological study, humanism turned into a dynamic cultural program, influencing almost every facet of the intellectual life of the Renaissance. The fourteen original essays in this volume deal with all aspects of the movement, from its origins in Italy to its manifestation in the literature of More, Sidney and Shakespeare. Overall, The Cambridge Companion to Renaissance Humanism provides a comprehensive introduction to a major movement in the culture of early modern Europe.
