Summary "Renaissance in Italy, Volume 2 (of 7)" by John Addington Symonds is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume, titled "The Revival of Learning," explores the profound cultural and intellectual awakening during the Italian Renaissance, examining its key figures, themes, and contributions to modern thought and art. Symonds focuses on the emergence of individualism and humanism, positing that the Renaissance was less about national identity and more about the achievements of notable individuals. The opening of this work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the dynamic and transformative atmosphere of Renaissance Italy. It introduces the notion that the period was characterized by a struggle between medieval traditions and the new humanist ideals, primarily embodied by figures like Petrarch. The author discusses how the political fragmentation of Italy fostered a unique environment for intellectual growth, where personal ability and character gained prominence over mere birthright. As the narrative unfolds, Symonds emphasizes the significance of the revival of classical learning and scholarship as essential components in shaping the intellectual landscape of the time, thereby establishing the foundation for modern Western thought.
