Reawakening - or historic period following the Middle Ages (11)

I believe the answer is:

renaissance

(Other definitions for renaissance that I've seen before include "Awakening" , "Revival of or renewed interest in something" , "transitional period" , "Time with hint of modernity" , "Classically-influenced revival" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
