Definition
❖ Renaissance means rebirth. It first occurred in Italy at the end of the 14th century and later covered Germany, France, Spain and Britain. It was in Britain that Renaissance reached its summit. Europe went through profound changes in every respect, namely, trade, politics, colonization, science, and art. The humanists proposed emancipation of individual and the fetter of church and humanism.
