"An admirably wide-ranging and fair-minded survey of a vast body of literature."
—Christine Shaw, Swansea University

"After decades of quarrels and controversy over the meaning of the historical Renaissance in the modern world, William Caferro reminds us why all the fighting has mattered--and how much fun it has been for the participants and spectators."
—William J. Connell, Seton Hall University
