Sinopsis:
Burckhardt's 'Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy' is fundamental to our understanding of the Renaissance, even though it has long since ceased to be definitive. For Burckhardt (who wrote `Civilization' in the 1850s), the Italian Renaissance represented the punctuated end of the middle ages and the beginning of the modern world. He placed particular emphasis on the idea that for the first time in history, the Renaissance gave us "individuality": the idea that a person could separate themselves from the crowd by their creative genius (in art, politics, science, etc.).
Biografía del autor: Jacob Burckhardt (1818 - 1897) was a Swiss historian of art and culture. He was born in Basel, where he studied theology; he went on to study art history at the University of Berlin. Burckhardt taught at various institutions, most notablythe University of Basel. He was a great conservative and pessimist and anopponent of both democracy and industrialization. Better known as a Renaissance Cultural historian, Burckhardt is remembered for his The Culture of the Renaissance in Italy (1860).
