Inventing the Renaissance: The Myth of a Golden Age
by Ada Palmer
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0226837971 | 768 Pages | PDF | 12.6 MB

An irreverent new take on the Renaissance, which reveals it as anything but Europe's golden age.
Palmer's Renaissance is altogether desperate. Troubled by centuries of conflict, she argues, Europe looked to a long-lost Roman Empire (even its education practices) to save them from unending war. Later historians met their own political challenges with a similarly nostalgic vision, only now they looked to the Renaissance and told a partial story. To right this wrong, Palmer offers fifteen provocative portraits of Renaissance men and women (some famous, some obscure) whose lives reveal a far more diverse, fragile, and wild Renaissance than its glowing reputation suggests.
