A Literary History Of The English People Volume 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from A Literary History of the English People, Vol. 2: From the Renaissance to the Civil War I Such were, with many others, the sights which the Theatre of the World offered to the wondering and delighted inhabitants of old Europe at the time of the Renaissance. Marvels innumerable are gazed upon, and dreams innumerable are realised at the same moment. Antique predictions are fulfilled; Thule is no longer the limit of the world; the gods descend from Olympus and live again among men; the cult of beauty spreads; flowers cover the earth.
