Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Renaissance Europe No European people are more jealous or more resentful of their past than the Italians. Their history haunts them like a nightmare and is for ever asserting itself. On all sides they see reproachful reminders of the great achievements of their forbears. It is the penalty which these heirs to a rich civilization cannot escape. All they can do is to improve upon the past. The consequences are that from time to time they are spurred to frantic emulation; and a rebirth of intellectual, scientific or artistic effort is the result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Later Renaissance Although the reasons for the course taken with the literature of Spain are given in the text, they may be repeated here by way of preliminary excuse. It has been decided to treat the Spaniards as an example of the overlapping necessary to the satisfactory carrying out of a series in periods. I have begun with them earlier than with others, have ended with them later, and have as far as space permitted treated them as a whole. For this there is what appears to me to be a sound critical reason. Although Spain undoubtedly belongs to Europe, yet there is in her something which is not quite European. The.

Download or read book The Earlier Renaissance Classic Reprint written by George Saintsbury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Earlier Renaissance Still, one of those exercises of the communis Serums, which are generally right, has regarded the Renais sance of Literature in Europe as not practically be ginning till the fifteenth century was far advanced, nay, till the various but converging influences of the capture of Constantinople, the invention of printing, the discovery of America, and the final uprising against the ecclesiastical tyranny of Rome had been successively brought to bear. And without further argument on the point of right, we may say that for the purposes of this book The Earlier Renaissance means the closing years of the fifteenth century and the first half of the sixteenth - the time when, the study of Greek having previously come to support and correct that of Latin in Italy, the full classical culture was transmitted from Italy herself to France and England, and so helped to install, in forms which cannot even to this day be said to have been wholly antiquated, the two greatest literatures of Europe. It is this process - the Italianation, as the Eliza bethaus called it, of France and of England - which forms for History the central interest of the period.

Of these young nations the chief were France, England, and Spain, each ruled by a strong kingi In Germany and Italy, on the other hand, the weakness Of the chief power in the first, and its total absence in the second, left the people of each so free to go their own way that they lacked sense enough Of common life to wish to be nations at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Renaissance and Modern Art Which keeps closest in touch with the point of view which recognizes Renaissance Italy as the main source of modern culture, while Ranke's histories, especially his History of the Popes and his History of England, are the best general reference for the sixteenth and seventeenth cen turies at large. Fiske's Discovery of America, and Campbell's Puritan in Holland, England, and America, are the books best calculated to bring our own American history into line with that of continental Europe. I have mentioned these various books from the conviction that the only true philosophy of modern history is that which moves from the Renaissance as its elementary basis, that the study Of Renaissance art is the best approach to Renaissance history, and that the best Supplementary reading is that of the historians whose point of view is the largest and most comprehensive.

Download or read book The Century of the Renaissance Classic Reprint written by Louis Batiffol and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century of the Renaissance For the keener enjoyment of life there is no pursuit so profitable and so easy as the familiar study of French history. It does not require that special education which enables the few to find consolation at times of trouble in the ancient classics, where Greek tragedy makes sublime the depths of human woe, or where the brighter scepticism of Horace dispels for a sunny hour the darkest clouds of dejection. Apart from such favoured amateurs of distraction there are very many cultivated English people who, in their desultory or regular reading, like to understand allusions, and who have a sense of missed enjoyment when a name of place or person conveys to them no distinct idea. To comprehend every allusion met with in general literature and to recognize every name would need, if not the whole sum of human knowledge, at least a portion so large that it would be more conveniently lodged in an encyclopaedia than in the memory of man or woman. But it is astonishing what an extensive and enlivening light is thrown on ordinary reading by a knowledge of the history of France. This has always been the experience of English readers in their perusal of fiction and of memoirs, of political and of philosophical works. It is more than ever apparent in the present war-time, when every morning brings a list of places in France where things have happened, which when details arc known, may for ever after be associated in many a British home with proud sorrow or pathetic rejoicing. The part of France which is now the scene of war is a relatively small tract of that country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Italian Renaissance in England Studies Classic Reprint written by Lewis Einstein and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Italian Renaissance in England Studies The history of the Italian Renaissance in the countries of Europe outside of Italy still remains a subject half unexplored. No account has as yet been written of the successive steps by which Italian culture crossed the Alps, the different directions it took, and the extent of its influence. The purpose of these studies is, therefore, to supply a link in the chain, and trace the Italian influence in England from the beginning of the fifteenth century until the death of Elizabeth. Separate aspects of this have, it is true, been treated by others. Beginning with Warton and Nott, a number of scholars have searched especially for the Italian sources of English poetry. Although in recent years most work of this kind has been accomplished in Germany, Miss Scott's contribution to a similar subject ought not to pass unnoticed in the scholarly annals of our own country. No serious effort has, however, been made to discover a common impulse running through the Italian influences in England: to find at the university, at court, and among the people at large, in different and even opposite directions, the results of one and the same great movement.

Download or read book Renaissance Diplomacy Classic Reprint written by Garrett Mattingly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Renaissance Diplomacy The diplomacy of this period assumed its characteristic form between 1420 and 1530 in a time which we all call the Renais sance, however we may differ about the limits of the term. Resi dent embassies, the distinguishing feature, were an Italian invention. They were fully developed in Italy by the 14505 and spread thence, like other Renaissance innovations, to the rest of Europe around 1500. And like other Renaissance innovations, they continued to develop along the lines laid down throughout the period which ended in 1914, so that their first stage may also properly be called the beginning of modern diplomacy. The new Italian institution of permanent diplomacy was drawn into the service of the rising nation-states, and served, like the standing army of which it was the counterpart, at once to nourish their growth and to foster their idolatry. It still serves them and must go on doing SO as long as nation-states survive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance Italy set out on her modern career with advantages which she shared with no other part of Europe. Civilization in liberal meas ure illumined the land while mists of barbarism enveloped the rest of Europe. The intellect of ancient Italy was largely fertilized by forces older and more lucent than those of her own breeding: by the thought and style of Greece. But the native land of Vergil and Catullus, of Cicero and Tacitus, insured herself near years ago against a denial at any era of her literary genius or power. The country which harboured the Republic and Empire of Rome, the country which was the nursery of Roman law and the birth place of Latin Christianity, claimed in the fifth century of our era a civilized and a civilizing tradition, which Attila and his Huns, with other scourges of kindred race, vowed to perdition in vain. The successes and failures of the Gothic warlords of the fifth century in their assaults on Italy graphically illustrate the virtual futility of relying on brute violence to annihilate the fruit of man's intellect and spirit.
