Question

A book titled [This Period] in National Context has been criticised for not containing a chapter on Iberia. Lisa Jardine proposed a material view of this period, rather than through its thinkers, in Worldly Goods. In a 2008 article, Merry Wiesner-Hanks asked “Do Women Need [this period]?”, a reflection on an older article which questioned “Did women have” this period. The first historian to delineate this period, in two volumes of their History of France that paired this period with the (*) Reformation, was Jules Michelet. (10[1])Paul Kristeller divided this period’s thought into Classic, Scholastic and Humanistic Strains. This (10[1])period’s name was made famous by an 1860 publication titled The Civilization of [this period] in Italy (10[1])by Jacob Burckhardt. For 10 points, name this period, the age of rediscovery of the ancient world, that followed the Middle Ages. ■END■

ANSWER: the Renaissance [accept The Renaissance in National Context or Do Women Need the Renaissance? or Did Women Have a Renaissance? or The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy] (The older article is Joan Kelly’s “Did Women Have a Renaissance?”.)
