The term ‘Renaissance’ has been used to refer to various movements in cultural history – originally in Europe, and later, by extension, to other civilizations. This book brings together a collection of articles by thirteen Italian and Indian scholars on the European and Indian renaissances. Between them they cover the work of major writers in Europe (Dante, Petrarch) and India (Bankim Chandra, Vidyasagar, Tagore); cultural and socio-historic movements like humanism, nationalism, the Reformation and Orientalism; and crucial social sectors like the growth of the vernaculars, the changing status of women and pursuit of science.
