The Italian Renaissance by John Stephens
In this fascinating study, John Stephens inteprets the significance of the immense cultural change which took place in Italy from the time of Petrarch to the Reformation, and considers its wider contribution to Europe beyond the Alps. His important analysis (which is designed for students and serious general readers of history as well as the specialist) is not a straight narrative history; rather, it is an examination of the humanists, artists and patrons who were the instruments of this change; the contemporary factors that favoured it; and the elements of ancient thought they revived.John Stephens worked as an executive producer on Gossip Girls and a writer on Gilmore Girls and The O.C. for 10 years. After reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, he was inspired to write children's books and received an MFA from the University of Virginia.
