In the growth of towns and the revival of commerce, historians have
seen the development of a bourgeois and capitalist Europe, but
Pierre Riché reminds us that Carolingians saw a world of forest
and wasteland, in which scattered castles and villages were
outposts against the savagery of nature, bands of outlaws, and a
myriad of pagan superstitions. Daily Life in the World of
Charlemagne gives us a vivid and deeply textured picture of the
fear and insecurity that drove people, great and humble alike, to
draw together with one another, with their stronger neighbors, and
with God and His saints, in search of protection and sustenance.
Riché makes extensive use of modern social history techniques and
the tools of new studies on nutrition, disease, demography, and
climatology, as well as art history and archaeology, to comprehend
the Carolingian mentality and reconstruct the material culture of
the early European world.
