The Renaissance was a series of cultural movements in Europe from the 14th to the 17th century aimed at reviving ancient Greek and Roman classical culture, emphasizing humanism and rationality. In this context, literature also began to pursue higher artistic standards, paying more attention to character description and emotional expression, emphasizing human freedom and dignity. The representative works of Renaissance literature included the plays of William shakespeare, the poems of Bacon, and the paintings of Da Vinci. These works all had superb artistic achievements and profound thoughts, which had a profound impact on later literature. For example, the play Hamlet by William shakespeare was hailed as the pinnacle of world literature. Bacon's poem, On Reading, proposed the idea that " knowledge changes fate." Da Vinci's painting, Mona Lisa, became an art classic of the Renaissance. The literature of the Renaissance had a profound influence on the literature of later generations. It created a precedent for modern literature and laid the foundation for the development of literature in later generations. For example, the Enlightenment in France in the 17th century, the Romanticism in the 18th century, and the Modern Movement in the 19th century all had a profound influence on the literature of the Renaissance.
