Lisa Kaborycha offers in Voices from the Italian Renaissance an anthology of texts providing a broad view of the many aspects of Renaissance culture and society, ranging from perceptions of nature to the arts, governance and love, domestic life and travels abroad, and the humanist reception of antiquity and religious reform. Packed with well-chosen texts that often dialogue with each other provocatively, this anthology provides in itself a thoughtful and appealing introduction to the Italian Renaissance.

This new sourcebook by Lisa Kaborycha is a tool that will be greatly appreciated by both students and teachers of the Italian Renaissance. The sources selected cover a particularly broad and comprehensive range of topics, and the authors are not limited to those traditionally best known, but also include lesser-known but no less important names worthy of rediscovery. For these aspects and for the good introductions by the author that stimulate discussion, this volume deserves to be highly recommended.
