The essays in this book address the development of art, literacy and humanism across the length and breadth of Europe and show that though the Renaissance was recovering the culture of antiquity, it nevertheless served as the springboard for many specifically modern developments.
The definitive study of humanist script in England before 1509, this book also provides an important re-interpretation of the success of Renaissance humanism. It introduces a range of Dutch, German, English and Scottish scribes in demonstrating humanism's cosmopolitanism.
Combining cutting-edge science with real life experiences and practical recommendations, this important book provides an accessible guide to becoming more resilient. Scientific findings, linked to personal accounts of overcoming medical challenges, the loss of loved ones, and other traumatic events, prove that anyone can learn resiliency skills.
