This wide-ranging introduction to medieval Europe has been updated and revised. In his popular survey Brooke explores the variety of human experience in the period. He looks at society, economy, religious life and popular religion, learning, culture, as well as political events; the rise of the Normans and the heyday of the medieval Empire. For the new edition there is increased coverage of the role of women and more attention to central Europe, Bohemia, Hungary and Poland.
This classic, wide-ranging introduction provides a firm framework of political narrative combined with lucid expositions of every aspect of the period - from economy, government and society to religion, education, and the crusades. Readable, alive and searching, it provides the ideal guide for the student learning how to study history from the sources.
