The Story of the Renaissance
by William Henry Hudson
read by Robert Whitfield
Unabridged
In this general but comprehensive survey of the Renaissance, William Hudson explores the most potent forces responsible for bringing about this "great movement of transition from the medieval to the modern world." He confines his study mainly to the period between the close of the 14th century up to the early decades of the 17th century in Europe, examining such topics as: the voyages of discovery, inventions, the revival of classical learning, science, art, literature, the intellectual upheavals of this creative period, and Hudson's own brief contribution to the period. Throughout this survey, the author focuses on the one thread of continuity which he understands to be both the seed and fruit of this exciting time: the awakening of secular humanism and the emergence of the Individual. This history offers the listener a very lucid and perceptive analysis of the splendid Renaissance. |
