Since its first publication in 2007, John H. Arnold's What is
Medieval History? has established itself as the leading
introduction to the craft of the medieval historian. What is it
that medieval historians do? How - and why - do they do it? Arnold
discusses the creation of medieval history as a field, the nature
of its sources, the intellectual tools used by medievalists, and
some key areas of thematic importance from the fall of the Roman
Empire to the Reformation. The fascinating case studies include a
magical plot against a medieval pope, a fourteenth-century
insurrection, and the importance of a kiss exchanged between two
tenth-century noblemen. Throughout the book, readers are shown not
only what medieval history is, but the cultural and political
contexts in which it has been written. This anticipated second
edition includes further exploration of the interdisciplinary
techniques that can aid medieval historians, such as dialogue with
scientists and archaeologists, and addresses some of the challenges
- both medieval and modern - of the idea of a 'global middle ages'.
What is Medieval History? continues to demonstrate why the pursuit
of medieval history is important not only to the present, but to
the future. It is an invaluable guide for students, teachers,
researchers and interested general readers.
