Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an introductory insight into the immensely influential and multifaceted French Renaissance, which took place in the 15th and 16th centuries. The author begins by defining the Renaissance as a historical period of change from medieval to modern thought, distinguished by a "spirit of free inquiry" and a rediscovered appreciation for beauty. The author speaks about the origins of the French Renaissance by tracing the development of French literature, from its anonymous medieval origins to the more personalized style that emerged in the 15th century. They discuss the religious and political influences of the time, which shaped the unique characteristics of the French Renaissance. From the consolidation of the French monarchy and the invasion of Italy to the patronage of the arts by influential figures like King Francis I, these factors combined to create an environment that fostered the new intellectual and artistic spirit. The author also explores the revival of classical learning and the invention of printing, which were significant catalysts for the Renaissance. By comparing the characteristics of the Renaissance in France to its Italian counterpart, the author concludes that the French Renaissance was ultimately more enduring, partly due to its close association with the Protestant Reformation.
