Reorienting the Renaissance: the case of the Tudors
16 October @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Ready to take your next journey of Discovery? The Renaissance: Journeys of Discovery at BRLSI is a yearlong programme of talks and events exploring the many joys, discoveries and something of the broader cultural legacy of a movement still making waves in the 21st century. Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Martin Luther, Cervantes, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Machiavelli, Hieronymus Bosch, if you love culture then you’ll love our new talks series!
The Renaissance re-oriented everything, from how the West saw the rest of the world, to why North ended up at the top of European maps. In an upcoming talk, Professor Jerry Brotton shows how the Tudors situated themselves within the wider geopolitical world of the 16th century and transformed England from a largely irrelevant kingdom to an imperial and commercial power.
