Publisher Synopsis
<br>Advance Praise: "This fresh and often iconoclastic survey acknowledges the diversity of medieval experiences--from era to era, region to region, class to class. The solid and traditional political narrative is enriched with an energetic discussion of environmental and technological issues, while social history, fascinating in itself, is successfully integrated into these contexts. Important intellectual themes of religion and philosophy are particularly accessible to students through a clear and focused examination of broader issues. The later Middle Ages, now the focus of much research, receive extended treatment. There are suggested texts and studies to draw students into the library but the text itself is so richly annotated with primary sources that as a course resource it could stand alone."--James W. Brodman, University of Central Arkansas<br> Read more...
