Who were well known writers of the Renaissance?

Contrary to popular misconception, the Middle Ages were not a “dark age” in our collective history. Not only is that term a Western-centric view of the world (while Europe and the former territories of the Western Roman Empire did indeed suffer long periods of social decline and disorder, many other areas of the world flourished during the same period, and the continuation of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, was at its most stable and influential during the so-called Dark Ages), it’s also inaccurate. The popular image of ignorant peasants and sequestered monks living in ignorance and superstition while the world fell into darkness is largely fiction.
