The Middle Ages: A New History, 1000-1400 provides students with an
engaging and enlightening journey through the historical events,
social and personal dynamics, intellectual developments, and
religious beliefs of the Middle Ages. The book begins with an
overview of Europe in the Early Middle Ages. Proceeding chapters
cover the peasantry and rural society; religious life and the
church; political history in Iberia, France, Britain, Scandinavia,
Germany, and Italy in the 11th century; and trade, commerce,
guilds, and the economy. Students learn about Islamic, Jewish, and
Christian intellectual traditions, and the experiences of the
disenfranchised-the poor, minorities, women, and "others." They
study key political events that shaped Scandinavia, the Holy Roman
Empire, Eastern Europe, and Western Europe during the 12th and 13th
centuries. Additional chapters address topics related to the church
and its institutions-including the Crusades, the Inquisition, the
Mendicant Orders, and more-as well as secular administration,
finance, and legal systems. Closing chapters discuss medieval
popular culture and entertainment, as well as the many calamities
that struck Europe between 1300 and 1400, including famine, plague,
war, rebellions, and a conflicted and weakened church. Illuminating
and well-researched, The Middle Ages is an ideal textbook for
courses in world and European history.
