I need help with the Renaissance! Like the time period after the medieval times!?

Question

So I have my final exam on the Renaissance in like 10 days and I don't get any of it! If you don't mind could you tell me everything you know about it !!! Thanks! :)

Answer 1

If you have ten days to prepare - look for:

Spitz, Lewis W. - The Renaissance and Reformation Movements: Volume 1: The Renaissance. Chicago: Rand McNally: 1971. This is a university level text book but is easy to read and only about 300 pages.

For a little extra spice, you might also consider:

Schevill, Ferdinand - The Medici. New York: Konecky and Konecky: 1949 which is about one of the powerful families of the era which competed with the Borgias.



A much heavier but valuable tome is:

Durant, Will - The Story of Civilization: Volume 5: The Renaissance. New York: Simon and Schuster: 1953

Answer 2

Art

Music

Culture

Answer 3

"the rebirth"

The causes are the crusades & the black death as well as the mongols

Leads back to Greek/roman thinking
