For those reading  Stephens' Italian Renaissance

Some students who have had little or no course work with the Renaissance period, may wish to use this book to increase their understanding. For them, the following chapters in John Stephens' The Italian Renaissance: 1-5, 11-13, and 15 will be useful. The purpose of this reading will be to gain a firm grasp of what the Renaissance and Humanism were in their origins and height in Italy, what the movement became by the late fifteenth century, as Northern Europeans adopted the movement, and how the Renaissance and Humanism interacted with the Reformations during the early sixteenth century.
