Erasmus, Utopia, and the Jesuits Essays on the Outreach of Humanism

Olin's focus in this collection of essays is the historical period of the early sixteenth century, the juncture of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Providing an in-depth alternative to the standard treatment - so often limited to the classical revival - this work concerns itself with the unique link between humanism and the great literary works of the period, and, in particular, the patristic scholarship inherent in Erasmus' ideals of reform. Olin specifically take into account the movements of New Learning and Humanism defining the cultural break between Medieval scholasticism and the renaissance of interest in the literature of antiquity.Olin, John C. is the author of 'Erasmus, Utopia, and the Jesuits Essays on the Outreach of Humanism' with ISBN 9780823216000 and ISBN 0823216004.
