From the bestselling author of "How the Irish Saved Civilization,"
a fascinating look at how medieval thinkers created the origins of
modern intellectual movements.
After the long period of decline known as the Dark Ages, medieval
Europe experienced a rebirth of scholarship, art, literature,
philosophy, and science and began to develop a vision of Western
society that remains at the heart of Western civilization today,
from the entry of women into professions that had long been closed
to them to the early investigations into alchemy that would form
the basis of experimental science. On visits to the great cities of
Europe-monumental Rome; the intellectually explosive Paris of Peter
Abelard and Thomas Aquinas; the hotbed of scientific study that was
Oxford; and the incomparable Florence of Dante and Giotto-acclaimed
historian Thomas Cahill brilliantly captures the spirit of
experimentation, the colorful pageantry, and the passionate pursuit
of knowledge that built the foundations for the modern world.
