Review title: This book deserves no stars
Product review: This is one of the least informative books on the Renaissance I have ever read. It is little more than name dropping. Johnson's thesis, emerging on p. 51, is that the Renaissance is about individual people (all men), and genius cannot be explained. Gee, how enlightening. Johnson also bizarrely includes medieval writers such as Dante and Chaucer in the Renaissance without explanation or justification. Burckhardt or Greenblatt (Renaissance Self-Fashioning) are worth your time. Johnson is not.
