Thanks for starting this. Maybe we should make the title Renaissance (European) ? Anyway, I stated that focus in the introduction. Nancy Sculerati 20:27, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

I've downgraded this to a stub. There's enough of an outline that can be built on to create a good article, so it's not really a candidate for deletion, but it hasn't developed in a while. Anthony Argyriou 13:27, 26 July 2007 (CDT)

Nomenclature

I think that "Renaissance" is now somewhat controversial, or just old-hat, in much academic discourse, with "early modern" being a preferred substitute; the idea being, as I understand it, tat "Renaissance" describes what was going on among the privileged classes, while "early modern" is more class-neutral. Perhaps someone with more immersion in this issue could add some text on this question? Bruce M. Tindall 04:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, I did a little bit on this, based mainly on Leah Marcus's 1992 article. Anybody with more to say on this, please have at it! Bruce M. Tindall 22:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
