Features: The Culture of the Italian Renaissance is one of the most important works in bourgeois historiography about this significant cultural revolutionary movement. Based on previous research on various aspects of the Italian Renaissance and his own years of relentless exploration of the issue, he established a new system. This system became the orthodox theory of bourgeois historiography on the subject. Although this work was first published over a century ago, its German edition and various translated editions have remained popular and continue to be reprinted. The publication of this Chinese translation will greatly help us understand and critique bourgeois historiography and bourgeois artistic thought.
