Women in Dark Age and early Medieval Europe, c. 500-1200

Author: Helen M Jewell

Series: European culture and society (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm))
Edition/Format: Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:
From the Publisher: Recent books in the field have tended to dazzle the reader with the latest research. A lot is left unsaid, however, leaving dangerous holes for the newcomer. This clear textbook helps the reader to establish an idea of how the medieval world (from c.500-1200) fitted together and how women fitted into that world, without neglecting recent work.
