The subjects of these essays include the definition of humanism, the Renaissance conception ofmodernity, the relation of painting to the liberal arts, the writing of history in the Renaissance, the role of music in the development of experimental science, and the development of a new Renaissance language of statecraft. Petrarch, Valla, Alberti, Accolti, Machiavelli, Steuco, Cardano, Baudoin, Montaigne and Campanella are among the authors who are here interpreted in significant ways. All of the essays were originally published in the Journal of the History of Ideas, a journal with a long tradition ofpublishing important interdisciplinary essays in the field of Renaissance studies.

Store Description

We have been selling academic and scholarly books in Cambridge since 1996. Today we occupy an old warehouse on Coldhams Road, adjacent to the railway tracks leading to Ely, not too far from the airport. The site is called Restwell House. We are an internet bookshop, but visitors are very welcome. Some drop off a few boxes of unwanted books, some pick up a book to save on the postage, some just drop by to get to know us, or want to take advantage of the many bargains on our wooden shelves bookshop, which is distinct from the internet stock offered on the web. Our mission has always been to find new homes for the books we are looking after. If we cannot sell them online, we offer them at very low prices to our visitors. We try to give you a serious and dedicated service which is focussed on the individuality of each single book: its condition, its origin, sometimes even its smell. You come to us for real books, not just instances of ISBNs.
