The Other Renaissance

From Copernicus to Shakespeare: How the Renaissance in Northern Europe Transformed the World

Paul Strathern,

About this book

An original, illuminating history of the northern European Renaissance in art, science, and philosophy, which often rivaled its Italian counterpart. It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in Italy.However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This "Other Renaissance" wasinitially centered on the city of Bruges in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, London, andeven in Italy itself.Thenorthern Renaissance, like the southern Renaissance, largely took place duringthe periodbetween the end of the Medieval age (circa mid-14th century) and theadvent of the Age of Enlightenment (circa end of17th century).Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de' Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck, and Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this "Other Renaissance"played as significant a role as the Italian renaissance in bringing our modernworld into being.
