In this updated version of <em>Humanism and the Northern Renaissance</em> (originally published by Canadian Scholars' Press in 2000), Bartlett and McGlynn explore ideals of the time period, religious zeal, and the wealth of the new world through readings that outline the chaos and brilliance of the period—as well as the failures and inconsistencies.</p> <p>Over 30 historical documents have been added, bringing the total to more than 60, including material by Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Fox, John Knox, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, and Galileo. The introduction to the book outlines the key figures and events of the period and each reading is preceded by a short, explanatory introduction, providing necessary context and background information.
