(John Addington) Renaissance in Italy, Volumes 6 and 7 (of 7) The Catholic Reaction Produced by Ted Garvin, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net HTML file revised by David Widger "Renaissance in Italy, Volumes 6 and 7 (of 7)" by John Addington Symonds is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work is a continuation of Symonds' examination of Italian Renaissance culture, focusing specifically on the Catholic Reaction and the subsequent evolution of Italian society following the Renaissance. The book explores the lofty achievements of Italian culture during the 15th and early 16th centuries and the forces that interrupted its progress. The opening of the book outlines the author's intention to delve into the Catholic Revival as a reaction to the vibrant artistic and intellectual developments of the Renaissance. It begins with a preface that indicates a culmination of themes discussed in the previous five volumes, setting the stage for an analysis of the changes in Italy's socio-political landscape that led to the rise of oppressive powers during the Counter-Reformation. The narrative hints at a close relationship between Spain and the Papacy, highlighting how these influences reshaped Italy's fate, leading to the distinct loss of its earlier cultural and political autonomy. This introduction serves to establish the context for a detailed exploration of the complexities that defined Italy's historical trajectory post-Renaissance.
