Through the careful examination of a wide range of extant sources including theological manuals, legal treatises, letters, and literary and autobiographical texts, the authors illustrate how individuals in England and the Hispanic world during the period of the Renaissance sought to reconcile their private and public selves, and thus establish and protect their identity. Individual essays demonstrate the significance, diversity, and fluidity of notions of conscience in the early modern world. These thought-provoking case studies also reveal how authority figures and commoners from two distinct cultural spheres struggled with similar issues and did so with explicit reference to shared scholastic and humanist traditions - often with similar outcomes. The Renaissance Conscience sheds important new light on the ways in which medieval and Renaissance discourses on conscience impacted upon early modern life and anticipated contemporary notions of moral autonomy"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRenaissance Studies Special Issues 606 $aConscience$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aConscience$zSpain$xHistory 606 $aConscience$zLatin America$xHistory 606 $aRenaissance$zEngland 606 $aRenaissance$zSpain 606 $aRenaissance$zLatin America 606 $aCivilization, Modern$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConscience$xHistory. 615 0$aConscience$xHistory. 615 0$aConscience$xHistory. 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aRenaissance 615 0$aCivilization, Modern$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a171.609024 686 $aHIS054000$2bisacsh 701 $aBraun$b Harald$g(Harald Ernst)$0245450 701 $aVallance$b Edward$f1975-$0908115 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910265224103321 996 $aThe Renaissance conscience$92031102 997 $aUNINA
