Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 4th Edition. "No time in Western history has been more glorified, more disputed and deplored, than the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Certainly this era--the renaissance--was one of the most exciting, complex, and fertile in the areas of art, letters, and learning that the world has ever seen. With the aim of showing, forth the people, their ways, and the gems of their literature, the editors of this volume have chosen selections from more than a hundred writers--selections 'which have the power to draw the reader into their world' and many of which are not available elsewhere in English. An illuminating introduction, useful bibliography, and chronological chart are also included." On the back of the book.
