The Renaissance

Introduction

The Renaissance was a time period of creativity and change in Europe from the 1300s to the 1600s. Many of these changes were in areas such as politics, society, the economy, and culture.  The most important change was that of the people and how they saw themselves and their world.  Many people showed interest in classical learning, especially the culture of the ancient Romans.  The Renaissance, as they felt, was a time of rebirth after the disorder and disasters of the medieval world.
