Renaissance People - Robert C. Davis, Beth Lindsmith
Like every era, the Renaissance brims with stories. They bring to life wily politicians, eccentric scientists, fiery rebels and stolid reactionaries, as well as a pornographer, an acrobat, an actress, a poetic prostitute, a star comedian and a least one very fretful mother. In this book, Robert Davis and Beth Lindsmith highlight dozens of notable lives from between 1400 and 1600.
Their stories, ninety-four in all, remind us that history is more than dates and abstract concepts: it also arises from the lives of countless individual men and women. Some names - Leonardo, Luther, Medici and Machiavelli - are famous, but many others will be new to general readers.
