Age of Renaissance and Reformation

Originally published by Dryden Press in 1977, this volume examines the period from 1300 to the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, an age of disorganization and turmoil, though also one of high achievement. It was an era that was somewhat grandiosely and quite inaccurately described as a rebirth of civilization, a Renaissance, and in religious matters, a Reformation.
