Benians, Sylvia. From Renaissance to Revolution. New York: Dutton, n. d. (1924). Pp. xii, 203.

This book, described by its subtitle as "a study of the influence of the Renaissance upon the political development of Europe," is a contribution to the history of ideas somewhat similar to Bury's Idea of Progress. Like that work, it is semi-popular in nature. It is based upon wide reading in both history and literature, and compresses a great deal of learning into brief compass without sacrifice of interest. The book will be useful to all who desire a brief introduction to some of the influences of the Renaissance upon European thought in later centuries.

Rev. by S. B. Liljegren in Beiblatt, xxxv, 356-7.

The author considers the Elizabethan artisan from the point of view of his individuality rather than from that of his relationship to the guild and society in general. The general method of approach is briefly indicated by the four chapter headings: "The Craftsman as a Heroic Figure," "The Artisan as Speculator and Philanthropist," "The Craftsman and his Work," "Social Aspirations of the Artisan.” Mr. Camp has read rather extensively in Elizabethan drama, ballads, pamphlets, etc. in collecting the materials for his doctoral dissertation, and he has succeeded in producing a very readable and useful book; still one feels that he has covered an immense field somewhat superficially. In justice to the author, however, it should be noted that "the volume does not contain all that the writer has to say on the subject of craftsmen in literature.” A minor defect of the study is the considerable number of naive or superfluous comments, e. g., the statement that Shakspere was unhistorical on a certain occasion, the reflection that the story of Whittington's cat is "not wholly impossible, as cats were greatly in demand in some parts of the world," and the explanation that when a certain maiden in Eastward Hoe exclaimed "chittizens" she really meant citizens."
