Descrizione del libro

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.
