  When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. 
  The Renaissance is a time in European history marking the shift from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, identified by an effort to restore and exceed ideas and accomplishments of classical antiquity. It happened after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was related to great social change. Aside from the basic periodization, advocates of a "long Renaissance" might put its start in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century. 
  Rather than a few years or specific dates, let’s take a look at what the extensive time period of the Renaissance provided, and what it leaves us with today.

  Straight Out of Brooklyn - A...

  This book details the author’s Italian-American beginnings in the New York of the 1950s and the profound effect that his extended, working-class family has had on his life. So great has this effect been that, as the author ages, he finds he thinks less of the momentous history through which he has lived, or of the intellectual life he has enjoyed, than of some things far more permanent, profound, and primordial: the people and places he knew as a youth, and that knew him; the baseball he played, the movies he loved (and the movie stars he spotted), the teachers he revered; the English his family learned as well as the Italian he unlearned, or lost in translation; the Mafiosi he met and marked; and the religion of his youth that he abandoned, yet that did not abandon him. Cardullo knows that he can’t go home again: all he can really do is think about it, which he does so eloquently in Straight Out of Brooklyn.
