The Italian Renaissance: The Origins of Intellectual and Artistic Change Before the Reformation

by John N. Stephens

The purpose of this book is to decide where the achievement of Renaissance art and letters lay, by exploring the needs for which artists and humanists catered and by exploring why their work took place. It is not a history of the Renaissance, but an attempt to define its value.
