Summary/Abstract |
The Renaissance, which literally means rebirth, renewal, rediscovery, refers to the period in European civilization spanning the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries that immediately followed the Middle Ages. While popularly understood as a revolution in architecture, painting and sculpture in Europe during this period, the Renaissance was not merely an artistic and literary movement. For the scholars and thinkers of the day, it was a time for the revival of classical literature, learning, wisdom and values.
