"The Civilization of Europe in the Renaissance" is Sir John Hale"s most ambitious achievement. One of Britain"s leading art historians until his death, he paints an enthralling portrait of Europe and its civilization at a moment when it first became an entity in the minds of its inhabitants. It contains memorable descriptions of painting, sculpture, poetry, architecture and music and examines the dramatic changes in religion, politics and economics. At a time when the idea of "Europe" and what it means has become more of an issue than ever, this book shows us how much our European present and future can be illuminated by the past. A classic.
