Book Synopsis
Who during the Renaissance could have dissented from the values of reason and restraint, patience and humility, rejection of the worldly and the physical? This title counters the prevalent view of the period as dominated by the regulation of bodies and passions, intending to reclaim the Renaissance as an era happily churning with energies.

Trade Review
"Well-articulated, intelligent, and written with the ease and confidence of a mature scholar. There is nothing in this book that isn't freshly thought through in an energetic and open way." (Gordon Braden, University of Virginia)"
