Around the year 1000 Rodulfus Glaber described France as being in
the throes of a building boom. He may have been the first writer to
perceive the early medieval period as a Dark Age that was ending to
be replaced by a better world. In the articles gathered here
distinguished medieval historians discuss the ways in which this
transformation took place. European society was becoming more
stable, the climate was improving, and the population increasing so
that it was necessary to increase food production. These
circumstances in turn led to the cutting down of forests, the
draining of wetlands, and the creation of pastures on higher
elevations from which the glaciers had retreated. New towns were
established to serve as economic and administrative centers. These
developments were witness to the processes of internal colonization
that helped create medieval Europe.
