Much of Professor Bartlett’s career has been devoted to bringing the culture
of European history into undergraduate and graduate classrooms. He has
taught regularly in the University of Toronto Summer Abroad programs
in Europe. He has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards, most
notably the 3M National Teaching Fellowship, awarded by the Canadian
Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and the inaugural
President’s Teaching Award from the University of Toronto. In 2007,
Professor Bartlett was one of the 10 finalists in TVOntario’s Best Lecturer
Competition, which pits students’ favorite instructors against one another in
a battle of charisma, clarity, passion, and conviction. That same year, the
professor was recognized with an inaugural Leadership in Faculty Teaching
Award by the government of Ontario.
Professor Bartlett is the author of
The English in Italy, 1525–1558: A Study
in Culture and Politics; The Civilization of the Italian Renaissance: A
Sourcebook;
and most recently,
A Short History of the Italian Renaissance.
He is also coeditor or translator of five other books, including
Humanism
and the Northern Renaissance
(with M. McGlynn), and author of more
than 35 articles and chapters on European history and culture. He has
been the academic consultant and occasional on-camera commentator for
the Illuminated Filmworks videos about the Vatican Library and for such
television series as
The Naked Archaeologist
and
Museum Secrets.
