The Renaissance in Italy [Buy it!] | Guido Ruggiero | USD 39.74 (Tue May 28 11:49:03 2024) | AbebooksDE | AHA-BUCH GmbH | ISBN10: 0521719380, ISBN13: 9780521719384, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Softcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers a rich and exciting new way of thinking about the Italian Renaissance as both a historical period and a historical movement. Guido Ruggiero's work is based on archival research and new insights of social and cultural history and literary criticism, with a special emphasis on everyday culture, gender, violence and sexuality. The book offers a vibrant and relevant critical study of a period too long burdened by anachronistic and outdated ways of thinking about the past. Familiar, yet alien; pre-modern, but suggestively post-modern; attractive and troubling, this book returns the Italian Renaissance to center stage in our past and in our historical analysis.
