This is a collection of influential and challenging essays by
British medievalist Timothy Reuter, a perceptive and original
thinker with extraordinary range who was equally at home in the
Anglophone or German scholarly worlds. The book addresses three
interconnected themes in the study of the history of the early and
high Middle Ages. Firstly, historiography, the development of the
modern study of the medieval past. How do our contemporary and
inherited preconceptions and pre-occupations determine our view of
history? Secondly, the importance of symbolic action and
communication in the politics and polities of the Middle Ages.
Finally, the need to avoid anachronism in our consideration of
medieval politics. Throwing light both on modern mentalities and on
the values and conduct of medieval people themselves, and
containing articles, at time of publication, never previously been
available in English, this book is essential reading for any
serious scholar of medieval Europe.
