Description
For history courses in Renaissance and Reformation Europe. 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.
