Our customers are familiar with the comprehensive and well-written historical texts of Dorothy Mills. Now Memoria Press is making available her excellent text on the Renaissance and Reformation. There are, of course, strong opinions about some aspects of this crucial period of modern history, but history itself is and should be an objective account of what happened, not an editorial on what happened, and Mills succeeds marvelously in giving readers a neutral ground on which to base their understanding of the history of this exciting time.
The period of the Renaissance and Reformation is increasingly important for the student of today. Miss Mills recreates this exciting period in history, and once more proves her unique ability to write history which is interesting and at the same time based on sound scholarship. She shows the essential meaning of the Renaissance period, what brought about this great change in thought, and how it affected the outward experience of the peoples of Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and England. Renaissance & Reformation Times includes a preface; 20 chapters covering topics such as the Renaissance in Italy, Early Tudor England, The Age of Discovery, Reformers in Switzerland and France, and more; a conclusion; and a bibliography.
