Readers interested in history, and in the development of modern sensibility, will relish this large-scale yet intimately detailed examination of the blossoming of the ordinary and extraodinary people of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. This third in the popular five volume series celebrates the emergence of individualism and the manifestations of a burgeoning self-consciousness over three centuries. Includes a 16 page spread of color photos. Also many black and white pictures throughout.
