A spirited and thought-provoking history of the vast changes that
transformed Europe during the 1,000-year span of the Middle Ages
The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and
the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period-one not
easily chronicled within the scope of a few hundred pages. Yet
distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in
this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting
account of medieval Europe in a generation. Tracking the entire
sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on
important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises
and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne's
reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the
destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late
medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death.
He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting
social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual
lives and international events. Wickham offers both a new
conception of Europe's medieval period and a provocative revision
of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter.
