World History Library
1 total work
Drawing on the latest scholarship, each volume in the World History Library set explores important eras and events, explaining not only what happened but why. Coverage begins by presenting the political, economic, and social background of the country or region at the start of the period. The engaging, clearly written narrative then goes on to describe critical events and themes.
Beginning with a presentation of the important developments of the late Middle Ages, The Italian Renaissance covers key events and cultural achievements during the fourteenth century.
