The Civilisation of the Period of the Renaissance in Italy by Jacob Burckhardt
Revolutionary in his all-encompassing view of the Italian Renaissance, Jacob Burckhardt (1818-97) saw developments in statecraft and war as the cause of more publicised artistic progress. First published in 1860, this work is considered his magnum opus and is reissued here in the 1878 two-volume English translation.One of the best historians of the nineteenth century was Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897). He was a mentor to Friedrich Nietzsche and taught history and art history at the University of Basel from 1858 to 1893.
