Description
For courses in Renaissance, Reformation Europe, Early Modern Europe, and first year surveys of Western Civilization.
This text's conversational tone and concise presentation are examples of an approach that is more representative than comprehensive-introducing historical figures and concepts as they flow through the narrative, without frequent interruption to include and define technical and foreign terms. Rather than a compendium or grand summa, the text serves as a brief introduction to some of the major personalities, issues, events, and ideas of the Renaissance and Reformation age.
