In this work, Christopher Dawson concludes that the period of the
4th to the 11th centuries, commonly known as the Dark Ages, was not
a barren prelude to the creative energy of the mediaeval world.
Instead, he argues that it is better described as ""ages of dawn"",
for it was in this rich and confused period that the complex and
creative interaction of the Roman Empire, the Christian Church, the
classical tradition and barbarous societies provided the foundation
for a vital, unified European culture. In an age of fragmentation
and the emergence of new nationalist forces, Dawson argued that if
""our civilization is to survive, it is essential that it should
develop a common European consciousness and sense of historic and
organic unity"". But he was clear that this unity required sources
deeper and more complex than the political and economic movements
on which so many had come to depend, and he insisted,
prophetically, that Europe would need to recover its Christian
roots if it was to survive.
