Originally published in 1953 From Roman Empire to Renaissance
Europe looks at the broader picture of the Middle Ages, drawn in
terms of the men and women and the situations that they had to
face. The constant theme of change is revealed not by detailed
narrative of elements but by commentary and examples that show how
ideas and systems developed, and how theses affected the patterns
of everyday life. The book looks at how the Roman Empire of the
West gave way to a decentralized society, vigorous, brutal and
inventive for which the only unifying factor was a universal
acceptance of Latin Christianity. In turn Christendom began to lose
its coherence during the 13th and 14th centuries and by the
fifteenth century Europe had emerged as a rival term, a Europe in
which the landed magnates had capitulated to the omnipotent and
ubiquitous prince, commerce, as well as land now being a source of
wealth. This is not a static picture of the 'Middle Ages' with
fixed characteristics, but of real men and women facing genuine
situations.
