Another word for revival or renewed interest on something is the word renaissance. This is why the word renaissance was used in Europe when art and literature was under a classical influence.
The Renaissance was a time of rebirth of the classic learnings of Ancient Greek and Rome. Europeans experienced a reawakening of interest in the classics--government, literature, art, and thought.

"Renaissance" in French is literally "rebirth", and can carry the religious connotation of the English phrase "being born again". It is also, as in English, used to refer to the period in European history, roughly the 15th and 16th centuries, characterized by a renewed interest in the arts and literature of Antiquity.
