The Middle Ages ended in a burst of new energy: discoveries of new countries, new sciences, new philosophers, and new ways of painting, writing, and making music. It was also at this time that a new revival of interest in the arts and letters of ancient Greece and Rome promoted the rise of humanism. The period known as the Renaissance, therefore, set the precedent for subsequent reawakenings and revivals of artistic power and influence. This course will address works written during periods of renaissance, the Renaissance in particular.
