The Medieval World
Peter Linehan, Janet L. Nelson (editors)
This groundbreaking collection brings the Middle Ages to life and conveys the distinctiveness of this diverse, constantly changing period. Thirty-eight scholars bring together one medieval world from many disparate worlds, from Connacht to Constantinople and from Tynemouth to Timbuktu.
This extraordinary set of reconstructions presents the reader with a vivid re-drawing of the medieval past, offering fresh appraisals of the evidence and modern historical writing.
Chapters are thematically linked in four sections:
• identities
• beliefs, social values and symbolic order
• power and power-structures
• elites, organizations and groups.
Packed full of original scholarship, The Medieval World is essential reading for anyone studying medieval history.
