The English Renaissance
The Renaissance began in Italy at the beginning of the 14th century. The Renaissance began as the rebirth of scholarship based on classical learning and philosophy. This movement sparked a gradual but lasting change in the World View of all Europeans and lead to a continual pattern of learning, growth, change, and progress that was almost nonexistent in the Middle Ages.
he English Renaissance (also called the Early Modern period) dates from the beginning of the Protestant Reformation and from the height of the Quattrocento (1400's) in Italy.
The period is characterized by a rebirth among English elite of classical learning, a rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman authors, and a recovery of the ancient Greek spirit of scientific inquiry.
It was the period characterized by widespread religious wars, geographical discovery and colonization, and major reforms of state.
