The Renaissance

Catalog description

The late 14th and early 15th centuries was a time of decay in Western Europe. Depression, war, rebellion, political anarchy, religious heresy, and epidemic disease - all seemed to spell doom for Western society. Out of it came an unparalleled rebirth of European cultural, economic, and political systems known to historians as the "Renaissance." This course follows Europe's 14th century disasters and its 15th century recovery. CR: So. stdg.
