- Description
- This essay explores the role that London came to play in the scholarship on Renaissance Italy during the twentieth century. It traces, further, the training, career, circumstances, and influences of a number of scholars researching in the field in London during that century. Together they formed a hub of Renaissance studies, located mainly in the city’s cultural and scholarly heartland of Bloomsbury, in turn creating new hubs of research further afield. The aim is not so much to critique the Renaissance scholarship that came out of the London milieu, but rather to explore the confluence of environment, individuals, groups, and ideas that shaped that scholarship. Using a variety of textual material, institutional histories, biographical studies, letters, email interviews, monograph prefaces and even seminar registers, this essay will examine how the London environment contributed to shaping Renaissance Studies in a number of important ways.
