This volume questions the extent to which Medieval studies has
emphasized the period as one of change and development through
reexamining aspects of the medieval world that remained static. The
Medieval period is popularly thought of as a dark age, before the
flowerings of the Renaissance ushered a return to the wisdom of the
Classical era. However, the reality familiar to scholars and
students of the Middle Ages - that this was a time of immense
transition and transformation - is well known. This book approaches
the theme of 'stasis' in broad terms, with chapters covering the
full temporal range from Late Antiquity to the later Middle Ages.
Contributors to this collection seek to establish what remained
static, continuous or ongoing in the Medieval era, and how the
period's political and cultural upheavals generated stasis in the
form of deadlock, nostalgia, and the preservation of ancient
traditions.
