About this title

Synopsis

European civilization experienced a rebirth in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries which not only produced great works of art ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Shakespeare but also encouraged explorers to travel the earth trading with, and sometimes subduing, peoples in Africa and the Americas. Europe's dynamism was matched by the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Mughal Empire in India. This text explores the profound changes both in Europe and across the globe.

Reviews

Grade 9 Up-This collection of essays and documents relating to the Renaissance takes a worldwide view, covering events in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The 42 selections, 9 of which are primary sources, are roughly organized by date. They address such topics as the Aztec and Inca empires; Babur, the first Mughal emperor; the new foods offered by the Americas as exemplified in the introduction of the chili pepper around the globe; and Elizabeth I. Some of the selections are too brief or specialized to be worthwhile, and Hay is inconsistent in defining unfamiliar terms. (Why "pullulating" but not "hegemony," "incunabula," or "chamolet"?) There are a handful of black-and-white illustrations and a few maps; the lack of comprehensive maps covering the whole world is a major drawback. The book concludes with a chronology that contains a few errors. This book's usefulness is limited by the narrowness of the subjects addressed in each selection. The list for further reading is probably the most valuable contribution here.
