Excerpt from the play The Summoning of Everyman (Middle Ages) by Unknown, late 15th Century
“Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,” he says, “which in the end causeth the soul to weep when the body lieth in clay.” Here shall you see how Fellowship and Jollity, Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty, Will fade from thee as flower in May. For ye shall here, how our heavenly king Calleth Everyman to a general reckoning: Give audience, and here what he doth say.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! Citation: Shakespeare, William, and Cyrus Hoy. Hamlet. New York: W.W. Norton, 1996. Print. |

“The [clearest] evidence of the break with medieval culture comes from the visual arts. [It] was the essence of the Renaissance…One begins to know the names of the artists…feel stronger emotions in the subjects…see well-defined landscapes, natural folds in drapery, and three-dimensional figures; and one begins to notice the emphasis on symbolic representation giving way to depictions of recognizable scenes…the new artistic styles would echo the broader movements and interests of the new age…Neither the techniques nor the forms of artistic expression were to be the same again.”
