| Summary |
Examining a range of antiquarian practices - history-writing, archaeological investigations, works of art, architecture and literature - that emerged in early modern Europe, this text challenges the idea of a single 'Renaissance'. It assembles essays on local antiquities in Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland. |
