Few periods have given civilization such a strong impulse as the Renaissance, which started in Italy and then spread to the rest of Europe. During its brief epoch, most vigorously from the fourteen to the sixteenth centuries, Europe reached back to Ancient Greece and Rome, and pushed ahead in numerous fields: art, architecture, literature, philosophy, banking, commerce, religion, politics, and warfare. This era is inundated with famous names (Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Cervantes, and Shakespeare), and the heritage it left can hardly be overestimated. The A to Z of the Renaissance provides information on these fields through its chronology, which traces events from 1250 to 1648, and its introduction delineating the underlying features of the period. However, it is the dictionary section, with hundreds of cross-referenced entries on famous persons (from Adrian to Zwingli), key locations, supporting political and social institutions, wars, religious reformations, achievements, and failures, which is the heart of this book. Further research is facilitated by the bibliography.

This second of the two-volume work provides some of the most anthologized material in English literature, with one difference: a number of those works are presented in their entirety to expose students to a much more comprehensive reading experience. For those who have read simple snippets of short pieces or parts of works, these complete poems, works of drama, and prose fiction, will help them expand the depth of their reading. From Beowulf to Swift, this anthology promises to introduce a wider range of material for the reader's enjoyment. The selections are broad enough for those students who wish to explore--in some detail--the world of the writers' imagination. Included are brief author or work headnotes to aid the reader in capturing the backdrop to the authors and their works.
