The idea of a rebirth in the art and civilization of the western world during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries has proved an enduring one. Expertly traversing religion, art, history and culture, the author suggests that the region that produced Luther and Durer owed as much to its own past heritage as to new ideas from Italy.

Traces the origins and evolution of the enmity between England and France over the four hundred years in which England was a continental European land power. This book also examines the emergence of English national identity and the part played by language in this process, as the English increasingly defined themselves against their French enemy.
