520 $aThis text covers the Middle Ages from the classical era to the late medieval period. The author provides an analysis of the rulers, wars, and events, both natural and human, that defined the medieval era. Taking a broad geographical perspective, he includes northern and eastern Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic states. He shows how each offered values and institutions that presaged modernity. In addition to a thorough chronological narrative, the text offers humanizing features. Each chapter opens with a theme-setting vignette about daily life and introduces key controversies and themes in historiography by discussing the work of a prominent medieval historian. This book immerses readers in the medieval world, an era that shaped the foundation for the modern world.
