"Renaissance," French for "rebirth," perfectly describes the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. During the era known by this name, Europe emerged from the economic stagnation of the Middle Ages and experienced a time of financial growth. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Renaissance was an age in which artistic, social, scientific, and political thought turned in new directions. Join us as we explore the Renaissance and discover the forces that drove this rebirth in Europe, and in Italy in particular.

124. Ancient Rome And English Renaissance Theatre The two matters considered in depth are the relationship between the design of performance arenas in Elizabethan England and those of Ancient Rome, and Early Modern Plays with a Roman theme. http://www.pricejb.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Rome/Rome1.html

ANCIENT ROME AND ENGLISH RENAISSANCE THEATRE The Renaissance is perhaps most commonly associated with Italian culture of 1350-1500; this perception owes much to a book by Jacob Burckhardt published in 1860 entitled The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy . In this pioneering text of cultural history, Burckhardt set out what he saw as the defining features of the Renaissance; the development of the city-state founded on principles of reflection and reason, the emergence of Renaissance Man (l'homme universal) who was an individual rather than the product of a corporate identity and, as discussed above, the revival of antiquity through the growth of humanism and a re-engagement with studies of the cultures of classical societies. These ideas remain the subject of much debate, but there is no doubt they have had a wide influence which can readily be discerned in orthodox cultural histories. See, for example the web based The Western Tradition . Burckhardt did not deal in any detail with England, suggesting that the native genius of Italians was a crucial feature in Renaissance culture, but subsequent scholarship has taken a broader view, finding in the literary output of English writers in the period 1500-1650 strong evidence of a 'Renaissance of Letters', a rebirth of learning stimulated by classical forms and ideas and mediated by the application of the ideas of Italian humanists. This period, often referred to as 'The English Renaissance', is largely covered by the Tudor and Stuart reigns and is neatly book-ended by the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War.

128. Lords Of The Renaissance - Board Game Review Contains review, official errata, variant and strategic analysis. http://spotlightongames.com/review/lotrrev.html

Lords of the Renaissance A Review June 20, 1996 Facts: Lords of the Renaissance brought to us by designer Phil Eklund and Sierra Madre Games in 1995, explores the question of how far a game can go on atmosphere. More on that later. First the facts: Full color map, 17"x24", stretching from England to the Levant 316 single color counters (must be cut out) 238 single color cards (must be cut out) 12 playing mats on ordinary paper 23 pages of rules including historical background (5 pages), index and example of play For 2-12 players Game is packaged in a zip-loc bag The area map is printed on heavy paper and serviceable apart from the small areas, especially in France, where it can sometimes be tricky to clarify which area an army is in, especially when there is a city within the area. (The map is divided, by folds, into eight panels. I have color photocopied each of these panels at 183% enlargement to create a very nice looking and functional map.) Counters are printed on thin cardboard. It can sometimes be difficult to distinguish red from orange counters. Object: The time period is 1460 to 1499. Each player starts as the Duke of his European duchy, operating a Bank or merchant company speculating in the silk trade and acting as a military or financial advisor to one of the great empires (England, Aragon, Papal States, Holy Roman, France, or Ottoman). The point is to get silk, from its depot at Azov on the Black Sea in the corner of the map, to your Bank which is somewhere in Europe, not necessarily in your home duchy. With money thus earned, the player may fund new ventures, the eventual object being to have the most money in personal treasury by the end of the game. The game ends at a predetermined time or for players who wish to avoid the famous "End-of-the-World Syndrome", an optional rules provides for a dice roll to check for a variable ending. Most games seem to run three or four hours, though diehards could probably easily go on for twelve.

HOME TIME AND SPACE PREHISTORY MESOPOTAMIA ... Magellan The Dawn of a New Age About 1450, European scholars became more interested in studying the world around them. Their art became more true to life. They began to explore new lands. The new age in Europe was eventually called "the Renaissance." Renaissance is a French word that means "rebirth." Historians consider the Renaissance to be the beginning of modern history. The Renaissance began in northern Italy and then spread through Europe. Italian cities such as Naples, Genoa, and Venice became centers of trade between Europe and the Middle East. Arab scholars preserved the writings of the ancient Greeks in their libraries. When the Italian cities traded with the Arabs, ideas were exchanged along with goods. These ideas, preserved from the ancient past, served as the basis of the Renaissance. When the Byzantine empire fell to Muslim Turks in 1453, many Christian scholars left Greece for Italy. The Renaissance was much more than simply studying the work of ancient scholars. It influenced painting, sculpture, and architecture. Paintings became more realistic and focused less often on religious topics. Rich families became patrons and commissioned great art. Artists advanced the Renaissance style of showing nature and depicting the feelings of people. In Britain, there was a flowering in literature and drama that included the plays of William Shakespeare.

Jean Toomer Cotton Song Evening Song Georgia Dusk Reapers Cotton Song Come, brother, come. Lets lift it; come now, hewit! roll away! Shackles fall upon the Judgment Day But lets not wait for it. God's body's got a soul, Bodies like to roll the soul, Cant blame God if we dont roll, Come, brother, roll, roll! Cotton bales are the fleecy way, Weary sinner's bare feet trod, Softly, softly to the throne of God, "We aint agwine t wait until th Judgment Day! Nassur; nassur, Hump. Eoho, eoho, roll away! We aint agwine to wait until th Judgment Day!" God's body's got a soul, Bodies like to roll the soul, Cant blame God if we dont roll, Come, brother, roll, roll! Evening Song Full moon rising on the waters of my heart, Lakes and moon and fires, Cloine tires, Holding her lips apart. Promises of slumber leaving shore to charm the moon, Miracle made vesper-keeps, Cloine sleeps, And I'll be sleeping soon. Cloine, curled like the sleepy waters whtere the moonwaves start, Radiant, resplendently she gleams

134. Silva Rhetoricae: The Forest Of Rhetoric A guide to the terms of classical and renaissance rhetoric provided by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham Young University. http://humanities.byu.edu/rhetoric/silva.htm

Search The Forest of Rhetoric T his online rhetoric, provided by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham Young University, is a guide to the terms of classical and renaissance rhetoric. Sometimes it is difficult to see the forest (the big picture) of rhetoric because of the trees (the hundreds of Greek and Latin terms naming figures of speech, etc.) within rhetoric. This site is intended to help beginners, as well as experts, make sense of rhetoric, both on the small scale (definitions and examples of specific terms) and on the large scale (the purposes of rhetoric, the patterns into which it has fallen historically as it has been taught and practiced for 2000+ years). If you'd like an overview of the entire "forest" of rhetoric, consult the "trees" (major categories) in the left frame. If you'd like to look up specific terms of rhetoric, either scroll through the list of figures of speech (or "flowers" of rhetoric) on the right, or Search the Forest (above or here Cross-references throughout the website will help you see the relationship between, for example, a topic of invention , such as "comparison" and its related figures of speech, " metaphor ," etc.
