Other Renaissance: From Copernicus to Shakespeare
An 'essential book for 2023', as selected by the Irish Examiner
It is generally accepted that the European Renaissance began in Italy. However, a historical transformation of similar magnitude also took place in northern Europe at the same time. This 'Other Renaissance' was initially centred on the city of Bruges in Flanders (modern Belgium), but its influence was soon being felt in France, the German states, England, and even in Italy itself.
Following a sequence of major figures, including Copernicus, Gutenberg, Luther, Catherine de Medici, Rabelais, van Eyck and Shakespeare, Paul Strathern tells the fascinating story of how this 'Other Renaissance' played as significant a role as the Italian renaissance in bringing our modern world into being.
Review: A thought-provoking re-examination of the great Florentine artists, scientists and business wizards of the Renaissance... His prose glimmers with the spark of rekindled discovery. * Wall Street Journal on The Florentines *
