Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Sussan Babaie praises the book for offering important new insights by placing Renaissance arts within a cross-cultural context, showing how the Renaissance was shaped by global contacts and the acculturation of arts and ideas from beyond Europe. Larry Silver notes that it provides a synthetic overview of the early modern period's global connections, transforming how the 'Renaissance' is perceived. The editors Christian and Clark bring together essays that synthesise recent scholarship and illuminate commonalities between European and non-Western cultures.
