Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Earlier Renaissance Still, one of those exercises of the communis Serums, which are generally right, has regarded the Renais sance of Literature in Europe as not practically be ginning till the fifteenth century was far advanced, nay, till the various but converging influences of the capture of Constantinople, the invention of printing, the discovery of America, and the final uprising against the ecclesiastical tyranny of Rome had been successively brought to bear. And without further argument on the point of right, we may say that for the purposes of this book The Earlier Renaissance means the closing years of the fifteenth century and the first half of the sixteenth - the time when, the study of Greek having previously come to support and correct that of Latin in Italy, the full classical culture was transmitted from Italy herself to France and England, and so helped to install, in forms which cannot even to this day be said to have been wholly antiquated, the two greatest literatures of Europe. It is this process - the Italianation, as the Eliza bethaus called it, of France and of England - which forms for History the central interest of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Later Renaissance Although the reasons for the course taken with the literature of Spain are given in the text, they may be repeated here by way of preliminary excuse. It has been decided to treat the Spaniards as an example of the overlapping necessary to the satisfactory carrying out of a series in periods. I have begun with them earlier than with others, have ended with them later, and have as far as space permitted treated them as a whole. For this there is what appears to me to be a sound critical reason. Although Spain undoubtedly belongs to Europe, yet there is in her something which is not quite European. The.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Literary Source-Book of the Italian Renaissance Secondly, seeing that these two kinds of rule are to guide men to certain ends, as we shall see, it follows that if man had remained in the state of innocence in which God created him, he would not have needed such means of guidance. These kinds of rule, then, are remedies against the weakness of sin. Since, then, man was not a sinner on the fourth day, for he did not then even exist, it would have been idle to make remedies for his sin, and this would be contrary to the goodness of God. For he would be a sorry physician who would make a plaster for an abscess which was to be, before the man was born. It cannot, therefore, be said that God made these two kinds of rule on the fourth day, and there fore the meaning of Moses cannot have been what these men pretend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century of the Renaissance To comprehend every allusion met with in general literature and to recognize every name would need, if not the whole sum of human knowledge, at least a portion so large that it would be more conveniently lodged in an encyclopaedia than in the memory of man or woman. But it is astonishing what an extensive and enlivening light is thrown on ordinary reading by a knowledge of the history of France. This has always been the experience of English readers in their perusal of fiction and of memoirs, of political and of philosophical works. It is more than ever apparent in the present war-time, when every morning brings a list of places in France where things have happened, which when details are known, may for ever after be associated in many a British home with proud sorrow or pathetic rejoicing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Renaissance, and Other Essays on Art Subjects But this admiration of a master in the theory and criticism Of art has not prevented me from enjoying artistic excellence wherever it may be found, and in periods in which Mr. Ruskin sometimes declines to re cognize it, in Greek as well as Gothic, in Dutch, French and Spanish schools Of painting as well as Italian, and especially to View Greek art as the head source, giving its law to all that comes after. I have, in a word, tried to cultivate a catholic spirit, believing that art dwells in the human soul, and shows itself in an infinite variety Of form, like the types and products Of nature but whatever opinions Mr. Ruskin himself may have arrived at, from some Of which we are forced respectfully to dissent, he has been our best guide to the facts and ideas Of nature.

Book Synopsis The Classics in the Medieval and Renaissance Classroom by : Juanita Feros Ruys
Download or read book The Classics in the Medieval and Renaissance Classroom written by Juanita Feros Ruys and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2013 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalists and Renaissance specialists contribute to this compelling volume examining how and why the classics of Greek and Latin culture were taught in various Western European curricula (including in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy) from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. By analysing some of the commentaries, glosses, and paraphrases of these classics that were deployed in medieval and Renaissance classrooms, and by offering greater insight into premodern pedagogic practice, the chapters here emphasize the 'pragmatic' aspects of humanist study. The volume proposes that the classics continued to be studied in the medieval and Renaissance periods not simply for their cultural or 'ornamental' value, but also for utilitarian reasons, for 'life lessons'. Because the volume goes beyond analysing the educational manuals surviving from the premodern period and attempts to elucidate the teaching methodology of the premodern period, it provides a nuanced insight into the formation of the premodern individual. The volume will therefore be of great interest to scholars and students interested in medieval and Renaissance history in general, as well as those interested in the history of educational theory and practice, or in the premodern reception of classical literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Renaissance in England: The Rede Lecture, Delivered in the Senaate-House on June 13, 1895 The Renaissance is a familiar theme; and its history in Italy has been elaborately studied of late years. Perhaps so much has been written about it that its main features have been somewhat obscured. Italy was the home of the Renaissance movement, and attention has been chiefly given to the most exaggerated forms which it there assumed, while its simpler, I might almost say its normal, development, has been somewhat overlooked. Let me try and put before you in its simplest form the chief object of that intellectual movement which we have agreed to call the Renaissance.
