An ambitious and enlightening look at why the so-called Dark Ages
were anything but that
Prizewinning historian Chris Wickham defies the conventional view
of the Dark Ages in European history with a work of remarkable
scope and rigorous yet accessible scholarship. Drawing on a wealth
of new material and featuring a thoughtful synthesis of historical
and archaeological approaches, Wickham argues that these centuries
were critical in the formulation of European identity. Far from
being a middle period between more significant epochs, this age has
much to tell us in its own right about the progress of culture and
the development of political thought.
Sweeping in its breadth, Wickham's incisive history focuses on a
world still profoundly shaped by Rome, which encompassed the
remarkable Byzantine, Carolingian, and Ottonian empires, and
peoples ranging from Goths, Franks, and Vandals to Arabs, Anglo-
Saxons, and Vikings. Digging deep into each culture, Wickham
constructs a vivid portrait of a vast and varied world stretching
from Ireland to Constantinople, the Baltic to the Mediterranean.
"The Inheritance of Rome" brilliantly presents a fresh
understanding of the crucible in which Europe would ultimately be
created.
