Literature spreads North!
• Some authors started
Christian Humanism:
Focused on humans and the
study of Christianity rather
than Greek & Roman texts.
• Christian Humanism was a
common theme of Northern
Renaissance writing- it was
all about how individuals
have the power and ability
to evaluate their religion.
Erasmus
• Desiderius Erasmus
wrote In Praise of Folly
which criticized Christian
practices, saying they
just covered up
corruption.
The book criticized the Church’s sale of indulgences to get people into Heaven (people
paid money to the church to decrease the amount of time they believed they’d have to
spend in Purgatory).
SIR THOMAS MORE
• Wrote Utopia – a novel based on Plato’s book,
The Republic (Plato was an ancient Greek
philosopher)
• This was yet another example of how Greek
and Roman ideas influenced thinkers of the
Renaissance!
MORE on MORE!
- More was a member of King Henry VIII’s court
- King Henry VIII was angry with More’s criticism and
ordered him to be beheaded!
- Still, the book made More very popular because of an
important recent invention… The Printing Press!

Example of one body paragraph
• The Renaissance brought tremendous changes to
politics. Before this time, the Feudal system was in
place all over Europe. As a result of the Crusades,
feudalism began to crumble. Knights left their
manors to fight and many peasants moved to the
quickly- growing towns. Soon, nations were forming
all over Europe. When Italy’s city-states began to
promote culture and a return to humanism, other
European nations, led by their Kings, followed Italy’s
example. Soon, all of Western Europe was
ensconced in the cultural movement of the
Renaissance.
