Renaissance means rebirth of learning and culture. The Italian and Northern Renaissance are famous for bringing changes in attitude to Europe, bringing them out of the Middle Ages mentality.
The first part of this project focuses on Renaissance writers. For each writer you will identify
- where they are from,
- why they were considered important
- one quote from the writer (along with the title of the work it is from)
- explain what the quote means in your own words
