It provides an original examination of the Renaissance across the entire continent. The book begins by examining the conditions in which innovation took place in cultural centers such as Florence, Avignon, Flanders, and Rome in the fourteenth, and fifteenth centuries. It emphasizes the late Renaissance, c. 1530-1630, when the new cultural forms and ideas reached the Celtic, Scandinavian, and Slav peripheries. The European Renaissance discusses the process of the active reception or creative imitation of classical and Italian models at the level of everyday life as well as that of art, literature, and music. It notes the importance of the reproduction of famous works of art by means of engravings and ceramics. The book also examines the social and political structures which shaped local responses to the movement. It concludes with an assessment of the effects of the Renaissance movement on later centuries, including its contribution to the 'Europeanization' of Europe.
