Renaissance, Fall 2008. Everyone welcome!
This seminar covers all aspects of Renaissance culture, from
political and social history to art history, literature, languages
classical and vernacular, music, philosophy, religion, science and
learning. The Renaissance is taken to begin about the time of
Petrarch and to end-according to the field examined-at various points
in the seventeenth-century. Later scholars who conceptualized the
Renaissance are also discussed.
