Humanism and the Northern Renaissance is a selection of primary source documents tracing the development of the culture, thought, politics, and religion of Northern Europe from the Council of Constance to William Harvey's description of the circulation of the blood.
The book will prove an excellent reader for any course on Early Modern Europe. Its wide selection of documents, covering most of Northern Europe from the late fourteenth to the early seventeenth century, will introduce students to the complexity of the cultures that defined the work of the Northern Renaissance and the coming of the Reformation.
