In 300 C.E. the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to Mesopotamia,
from the North Sea to the Sahara Desert. A mere three hundred years
later the Roman imperial structure was gone, replaced by a series
of barbarian kingdoms that became the basis of Europe's eventual
medieval and modern states. In this anthology Thomas F.X. Noble
presents a collection of key articles, written by leading scholars
over the last twenty years, that examine how and why the dominance
of the Roman Empire ended and how new forms of government and
society were established.
Since the Renaissance, historians have tended to understand the
events of the period in terms of a dramatic "decline and fall" of
Rome. However, these revisionist essays provide an overview of how
contemporary historians have furthered the debate, reassessing how
abruptly the shift from Roman Empire to barbarian Europe occurred,
and the origins and causes of the development of the Middle Ages
and the new order. Rome played a key role in guiding this
transformation and these essays also include a wealth of material
on the characteristics and experiences of the barbarian tribes, the
relationships they forged with the Romans and how far their new
kingdoms were influenced by Rome.
With an accessible and informative introduction, and thorough
editorial material accompanying each section," From Roman Provinces
to" "Medieval Kingdoms "is highly readable and informative
compilation of current work and recent perspectives, making complex
debates accessible to students and exposing them to the key debates
surrounding the study of the era.
