Synopsis

Harvard Lectures On The Revival Of Learning is a book written by John Sandys, which explores the history of the Renaissance period and the revival of learning that took place during this time. The book is based on a series of lectures delivered by the author at Harvard University, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the key figures, ideas, and events that shaped the Renaissance.Sandys begins by tracing the roots of the Renaissance back to the ancient world, and he discusses the influence of classical Greek and Roman culture on the thinkers and scholars of the Renaissance. He then moves on to explore the major intellectual and artistic movements of the period, including humanism, the development of printing, and the scientific revolution.Throughout the book, Sandys emphasizes the importance of the Renaissance as a period of intellectual and cultural renewal, and he highlights the ways in which it paved the way for modern Western civilization. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an excellent resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of the Renaissance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

In an admirable volume, entitled Harvard College by an Oxonian, the late DrG eorge Birkbeck Hill has spoken of the never-failing stream of benefactions by which the love of Harvard men is shown for Harvard. 1A mong these benefactions is a fund for the endowment of special courses of Classical Lectures, for which Harvard is indebted to the munificence of a member of the Class of 1881, Mr Gardiner Martin Lane, of Boston. Mr Lane has a hereditary interest in the Classics. He is the son of the late George Martin Lane, for forty-three years Professor of Latin at Harvard. From 1847 to 1851, his father sat at the feet of some of the foremost Classical Scholars in Germany, and preserved memorials of their teaching, and of their personality, in the form 1M acmillan and Co., New York, 1894, p. 10.
