Portraits of Medieval Eastern Europe provides imagined biographies
of twenty different figures from all walks of life living in
Eastern Europe from 900 to 1400. Moving beyond the usual boundaries
of speculative history, the book presents innovative and creative
interpretations of the people, places, and events of medieval
Eastern Europe and provides an insight into medieval life from
Scandinavia to Byzantium. Each chapter explores a different figure
and together they present snapshots of life across a wide range of
different social backgrounds. Among the figures are both imagined
and historical characters, including the Byzantine Princess Anna
Porphyrogenita, a Jewish traveller, a slave, the Mongol general
Subodei, a woman from Novgorod, and a Rus' pilgrim. A range of
different narrative styles are also used throughout the book, from
omniscient third-person narrators to diary entries, letters, and
travel accounts. By using primary sources to construct the lives
of, and give a voice to, the types of people who existed within
medieval European history, Portraits of Medieval Eastern Europe
provides a highly accessible introduction to the period.
Accompanied by a new and interactive companion website, it is the
perfect teaching aid to support and excite students of medieval
Eastern Europe.
