THE MEDIEVAL WORLD
This groundbreaking collection brings the Middle Ages to life, and conveys the distinctiveness of this diverse, constantly changing period. From the contributions of thirty-eight scholars, one medieval world merges from many disparate worlds, stretching from Connacht to Constantinople and from Tynemouth to Timbuktu. This remarkable set of reconstructions presents the reader with the future of the medieval past, offering fresh appraisals of the evidence and of modern historical writing. Chapters are thematically linked in four sections:
• identities in the medieval world
• beliefs, social values and symbolic order
• power and power structures
• elites, organisations and groups
This volume is packed full of original scholarship and is set to become essential reading for anyone studying medieval history
