HSTY2647: Renaissance Italy
2021 unit information
This unit uses a special study of Florence to investigate the extraordinary cultural flowering that occurred in Italy between the 14th and 16th centuries. Major themes embrace parallel developments in Venice, Rome, Siena and other city-states, the social context of art, neighbourhood, community, gender, sexuality, the family, poverty, rebellion, religion, and intellectual life. Students use a wide variety of textual and visual sources to critique the concept of the Renaissance, its modern image and its impact on our own age.
