      abstract = {"The Renaissance in Italy continues to exercise a powerful  hold on the popular imagination and on scholarly enquiry.  This Companion presents a lively, interdisciplinary and  current approach to the period that extends in Italy from  the turn of the fourteenth century through the latter  decades of the sixteenth. Addressed to students, scholars  and non-specialists, it introduces the richly varied  materials and phenomena as well as the different  methodologies through which the Renaissance is studied  today in both the English-speaking world and in Italy. The  chapters are organised around axes of humanism,  historiography and cultural production, and cover many  areas including literature, science, music, religion,  education, technology, artistic production and economics.  The diffusion of the Renaissance throughout Italian  territories is emphasised. Overall, the Companion provides  an essential overview of a period that witnessed both a  significant revalidation of the classical past and the  development of new, vernacular and increasingly secular  values"--},
