'Enlightening and fascinating' John Banville, Wall Street
JournalThrough the lives of major figures from the fifteenth to the
seventeenth centuries, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther,
Catherine de Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck and Shakespeare, Paul
Strathern tells the fascinating story of the northern European
Renaissance, which rivalled its Italian counterpart. There is no
denying that many of the first developments of the Renaissance took
place in Italy. However, a revolution of similar magnitude was also
occurring across northern Europe, which would forever alter
European culture in its own unique fashion.Initially centred on the
city of Bruges, its influence was soon felt in France, the German
states, England and even in Italy itself. By vividly bringing to
life the key players of the northern Renaissance, Paul Strathern
explores some of the most significant advances of the whole era,
revealing how they not only introduced new ways of thinking in art,
literature, science, philosophy, mathematics and medicine, but also
allowed for the evolution of an entirely different concept of life.
In this compelling and original history, Strathern shows how the
'Other Renaissance' would play a role at least as significant as
the Italian Renaissance in shattering the constraints of medieval
life and bringing our modern world into being.
