Eyewitnessing
Reaktion Books, 2014. Paperback. Pp: 224. Eyewitnessing evaluates the place of images among other kinds of historical evidence. By reviewing the many varieties of images by region, period and medium, and looking at the pragmatic uses of images (e.g. the Bayeux Tapestry, an engraving of a printing press, a reconstruction of a building), Peter Burke sheds light on our assumption that these practical uses are 'reflections' of specific historical meanings and influences. He also shows how this assumption can be problematic. Traditional art historians have depended on two types of analysis when dealing with visual imagery: iconography and iconology. Burke describes and evaluates these approaches, concluding that they are insufficient. Focusing instead on the medium as message and on the social contexts and uses of images, he discusses both religious images and political ones, also looking at images in advertising and as commodities. Ultimately, Burke's purpose is to show how iconographic and post-iconographic methods " psychoanalysis, semiotics, viewer response, deconstruction " are both useful and problematic to contemporary historians.

The Fortunes of the Courtier
Pennsylvania State University Press, 1996. Paperback. Pp: 210. Castiglione's Cortegiano, or Book of the Courtier, is often read as a book embodying the spirit of the High Renaissance in Italy. It is therefore easy to forget that Castiglione wrote the Courtier as a practical guide to contemporary conduct and that it quickly became a huge success outside Italy. More than a hundred editions have appeared in numerous languages since its first publication in 1528. With this in mind, cultural historian Peter Burke sets forth in his brilliant new book to explore how readers over the years have responded to the Courtier. Because it was read so widely in Europe, the Courtier affords Burke an ideal test case for the diffusion and reception of ideas. From Poland and Hungary to England, Portugal, and even the New World, he takes us on a fascinating tour of courts, libraries, and reading rooms in search of Castiglione's ideal courtier. He shows how changing responses to the Courtier, both positive and negative, reveal changing social values and how regional variations in its reception reflect the emerging cultural map of Europe. His evidence includes printing history, translations, marginalia, and records of sale and possession. He concludes with a discussion of the later fortune of the Courtier, including its role in the "civilizing process" and its curious appeal to writers as different as Samuel Johnson and W. B. Yeats.

The Italian Renaissance
Princeton University Press, 1999. Paperback. Pp: 304. In this newly revised edition of his widely acclaimed work, Peter Burke presents a social and cultural history of the Italian Renaissance. He discusses the social and political institutions that existed in Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and he analyzes the ways of thinking and seeing that characterized this period of extraordinary artistic creativity. Developing a distinctive approach, the author is concerned not only with the finished works of Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and others, but also with the social background, patterns of recruitment, and means of subsistence of this cultural elite. He thus makes a major contribution both to our understanding of the Italian Renaissance and to our comprehension of the complex relations between culture and society.- "American Historical Review".

Kopstukken Filosofie Montaigne
Lemniscaat, 1999. Paperback. Pp: 110. Montaigne`s Essays behoren tot de boeiendste teksten die de Europese filosofische literatuur heeft voortgebracht. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) wordt vaak gezien als een - moderne` denker die zijn tijd ver vooruit was. Peter Burke plaatst hem echter terug in zijn tijd en laat niet alleen de verschillen, maar ook de overeenkomsten met zijn tijdgenoten zien. Hij beschrijft tevens de verreikende invloed van de Essays, die een gevarieerde groep denkers en schrijvers, van Bacon tot Montesquieu, van Nietzsche tot Levi-Strauss, hebben weten aan te spreken.

The Polymath
Yale University Press, 2021. Paperback. Pp: 352. From Leonardo Da Vinci to Oliver Sacks: the first history of the western polymath, from the Renaissance to the present "An absorbing group portrait and intellectual history."-Kirkus Reviews "An admirable mixture of industry and erudition."-Robert Wilson, Wall Street Journal From Leonardo Da Vinci to John Dee and Comenius, from George Eliot to Oliver Sacks and Susan Sontag, polymaths have moved the frontiers of knowledge in countless ways. But history can be unkind to scholars with such encyclopedic interests. All too often these individuals are remembered for just one part of their valuable achievements. In this engaging, erudite account, renowned cultural historian Peter Burke argues for a more rounded view. Identifying 500 western polymaths, Burke explores their wide-ranging successes and shows how their rise matched a rapid growth of knowledge in the age of the invention of printing, the discovery of the New World and the Scientific Revolution. It is only more recently that the further acceleration of knowledge has led to increased specialization and to an environment that is less supportive of wide-ranging scholars and scientists. Spanning the Renaissance to the present day, Burke changes our understanding of this remarkable intellectual species. ISBN: 9780300260465. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Stadscultuur in Italië tussen renaissance en barok
Contact, 1988. Paperback. Pp: 330. Wat waren de regels waar een dief in 1600 in Rome zich aan te houden had? Welke vloeken en beledigingen werden in de renaissance gebruikt wanneer men ruzie had? Wat zijn de overeenkomsten tussen carnaval in Venetiė, een volksopstand in Napels en de behandeling van een spinnebeet? De prominente historicus Peter Burke beschrijft in een vederlichte maar precieze stijl de betekenis van al deze ongeschreven regels en rituelen. Voor een Italiaan uit de renaissance was het essentieel om het door hem gewenste imago ook in de ogen van anderen geloofwaardig te maken. - Fare bella figura`, een goed figuur slaan, was belangrijker dan de sociale status die men werkelijk bezat. Vanuit dit perspectief - de grote betekenis die gehecht werd aan een persoonlijke stijl - maakt Peter Burke ons vertrouwd met een cultuur die in veel opzichten - toen en misschien nog steeds - grote verwantschap met het theater lijkt te hebben.
