Books by Denys Hay

A fresh and readable account of one of the great epochs in European history, this book will appeal to the general reader as well as to students of history and art. This second edition, which has been revised and updated by the author, gives more ample treatment to the 'reception' of the Renaissance in England.

This book attempts a dispassionate survey of the popes and the clergy in pre-Reformation Italy. There is no book in Italian (or in any other language) which tries to describe what the Italian clergy and their parishioners were like at this time.

The second edition of this highly successful textbook analyses the structure of later medieval society in Europe, identifies its main groups and their political programmes, and examines their impact on the political, economic and social history of the major European states.
