The Renaissance: A New Era or a Continuation of the Past?

Posted on | by Kelvin

Renaissance historian Peter Burke has argued that the Renaissance was not really thedawn of a new era. In fact, he claimed in his article “The Myth of the Renaissance”that the High Middle Ages experienced a series of “renascences” that shaped modernWestern culture. Furthermore, Burke argued that many “Renaissance men” heldbeliefs and assumptions that were actually medieval in nature. After reading Burke’sarticle found in the Course Content section in Blackboard, do you agree or disagreewith this theory? In this assignment you need either to support or refute Burke’sargument. You need to use primary source documents found on the Renaissancesection of the LibGuide to support your argumen

The primary goal of this assignment is to get you take and argue a position within anacademic debate. The secondary goal is to test your ability to use primary sources tobolster your arguments.
