Description:
The masterpiece of Britain's leading Renaissance scholar. With astonishing range and subtlety of learning, he paints a gigantic picture of the age, enlivened by a multiplicity of themes, people and ideas. It contains memorable descriptions of painting, sculpture, poetry, architecture and music, but Hale is not simply concerned with the arts.He examines the dramatic changes during the period in religion, politics, economics and global discoveries.
