“Historians have disagreed on the true nature of the Renaissance. The clue to understanding it lies in
realizing that it was an age of contradictions, that it included many conflicting trends. Misery and
splendor, beauty and horror, despotism and the urge for free expression, all flourished side by side.”
Is this statement vaild based off a liturature on the renaissance.
It's for school and i;m having a hard time dealing with it.
Jacob Burckhardt- The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy
Niccolo Machiavelli- The Prince
Baldassare Castiglione- The Book of the Courtier
Giovanni Boccaccio- The Decameron
-those are the doc/readings that i recived
also, should i write about the contradictions with other ages, or the contradictions inside the renaissance
