Provisionally entitled\u00a0<i>England and the Identity of Italian Renaissance Humanism<\/i>, it builds on my recent publications, including my 2019 monograph,\u00a0<i>The Renaissance Reform of the Book and Britain<\/i>. That book suggested that a revision is urgently need of our assumptions about the Renaissance slowly seeping out from an Italian centre to peripheral locations like England. This follow-up takes a wider remit and is bolder in outlining a programme for reshaping our understanding of how intellectual ideas moved across the shared culture of late medieval Christendom\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The grant will allow David to undertake, post-Covid, research trips within Britain and elsewhere in Europe (Denmark, Germany, Italy), ahead of putting the finishing touches to the text of the monograph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/files\/2020\/09\/EQ-Cover-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1431 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/files\/2020\/09\/EQ-Cover-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"518\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/files\/2020\/09\/EQ-Cover-2.jpg 518w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/files\/2020\/09\/EQ-Cover-2-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the provocative question at the heart of David Rundle\u2019s present research, which has just been awarded a British Academy \/ Leverhulme Small Research &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/2020\/09\/17\/small-grants-fund-awarded-to-history-lecturer\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39518,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16742,70],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1416"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39518"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1416"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1467,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1416\/revisions\/1467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
