The writing and reading of history in the early Middle Ages form
the key themes of this 2004 book. The primary focus is on the
remarkable manifestations of historical writing in relation to
historical memory in the Frankish kingdoms of the eighth and ninth
centuries. It considers the audiences for history in the Frankish
kingdoms, the recording of memory in new genres including narrative
histories, cartularies and Libri memoriales, and thus particular
perceptions of the Frankish and Christian past. It analyses both
original manuscript material and key historical texts from the
Carolingian period, a remarkably creative period in the history of
European culture. Presentations of the past developed in this
period were crucial in forming an historical understanding of the
Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian past and, in subsequent centuries,
of early medieval Europe. They also played an extraordinarily
influential role in the formation of political ideologies and
senses of identity within Europe.
