New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2006

From the publisher’s description:

Other Renaissances is a collection of twelve essays discussing renaissances outside the Italian and Italian-prompted European Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The collection proposes an approach to reframing the Renaissance in which the European Renaissance becomes an imaginative idea, rather than a particular moment in time.
