      From Roman Empire to Renaissance Europe
    • Další ze svazků edice Dějiny Evropy zachycuje dvě staletí, během nichž se dosavadní jednota křesťanské Evropy začala drolit. Denys Hay (1915-1994), dlouholetý profesor na univerzitě v Edinburghu a specialista na dějiny italské renesance, přibližuje bouřlivé období evropských dějin poznamenané válkami, náboženskými nepokoji, ale i významnými objevy a cestami, které zásadním způsobem rozšířily obzor Evropanů. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje renesanci a renesanční kultuře, vzniku a rozvoji literatury v národních jazycích, ale i dějinám hospodářským – mezinárodnímu obchodu a bankovnictví, či dějinám církevním – vztahu mezi papežstvím a konciliárním hnutím. Sledovány jsou nejen dějiny „centra“, ale i „periferií“ Evropy – zemí Evropy střední a východní, včetně zemí českých.
