Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 1: Series for 1894
The period of the Renaissance and the Reformation, which began in England with the closing years Of the fifteenth century, was a period of individualism, and gave a greater opportunity of in?uence to men of genius than any earlier period had furnished. The loosening of the bonds of custom in intellectual and ecclesiastical system, and in political and economic organization, gave to the opinions and actions of individual men far more significance than they could have had in the Middle Ages.
