About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1958. Illustrated Edition. good. 21 cm, 278, wraps, v.1 only, illus., footnotes, ink notation blacked over inside front cover Introduction by Benjamin Nelson and Charles Trinkaus. Originally published in 1860, Burckhardt's great work redefined our sense of the European past, wholly reinterpreting what has since been known simply as the Italian Renaissance. With unsurpassed erudition, Burckhardt illuminates a world of artistic and cultural ferment, innovation, and discovery; of revived humanism; of fierce tensions between church and empire; and of the birth ofboth the modern state and the modern individual. The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy remains the single most important and influential account of this crucial moment in the history of the West.
