Renaissance (Many Wonderful Things)

The Renaissance was a period in European history from the 14-17th centuries which marks a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. During this time, much of the culture, literature, and technology of classical civiliations were recovered and improved on, including that from Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It was this period that laid the foundation for much of modern society, including critical analysis and the scientific method. It primarily began in Italy in the 14th century before spreading to to northern and western Europe in the coming centuries.
