Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Sociology of the Renaissance" by Alfred von Martin, as translated by W. L. Luetkens. This edition was published by Harper & Row as a Harper Torchbook (# TB 1099) in its Academy Library Series. It has an Introduction by Wallace K, Ferguson. This is the 1963 First Torchbook Edition, which is also the First Paperback Edition. The following is excerpted from the Introduction by Mr. Ferguson : " 'Sociology of the Renaissance' is interesting, not only as a unique attempt to place the evolution of the dominant class of the Florentine society in relation to the whole cultural complex of the age, but, still more, because it marks the culmination of a definite stage in the socio-economic historiography devoted to the Renaissance during the opening decades of the Twentieth Century. As in his earlier studies, von Martin was endeavoring to discover and define the spirit or essence of the Renaissance. But now the 'ideal type' he placed in the foreground of his study was no longer the humanist, but rather the capitalist 'haute bourgeois' who represented the economically, politically, and culturally dominant class of the Renaissance, particularly as it existed in Florence, the 'bourgeois metropolis' which he regarded as most typical of the culture of the age ."
