This volume explores a world that thought deeply about imperial
power and emperors but one that perhaps never had an "empire" of
its own. These synthetic essays from experts across a wide variety
of disciplines mine the intellectual world of this period and begin
to demolish the myth of the so-called "Dark Ages," showing how the
European Middle Ages were illuminated by vigorous debates that echo
today. The story of medieval Western empires is both familiar and
foreign. It is a story about politics, culture, religion, society,
gender, sex, and economics, and how porous the boundaries between
those categories can often be. A Cultural History of Western
Empires in the Middle Ages offers a detailed and highly-illustrated
account of how we got to where we are, as well as the dangers of
not fully understanding why those origins matter.
