The Renaissance

by Simon Goodenough

Between 1300 and 1600 life in Europe went through enormous changes. It was a new age of thinking and learning and it is called the Renaissance. It was a time of astonishing inventions in the world of science; printing was developed; discoveries in astronomy were made; daring men set out to explore uncharted seas and there were exciting advances in painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature. But it was also an age of violence, poverty, squalor and disease. This beautifully illustrated book gives a fascinating account of the events, the places and the lives of the people of the Renaissance age.
