"Renaissance in Italy, Volume 1 (of 7)" by John Addington Symonds is a historical exploration of Italy's Renaissance era during the late 1800s that looks at the changes in art, education, and politics, and how these things worked together to create a new cultural age. The book presents the Renaissance as a time when people started to see freedom and knowledge in new ways. It highlights thinkers like Dante as driving the change from the Middle Ages. It also considers that the Renaissance happened over time and was a slow reveal of human ideas, shown through new discoveries in the arts, sciences, and learning. This sets the stage for the book's deeper dives into education, history, art, and other concepts of the era.
