In this new edition of A Short History of the Middle Ages , Barbara H. Rosenwein offers a panoramic view of the medieval world. Volume I ranges from northeastern North America to Kievan Rus’, while never losing sight of the main contours of the period c .300 to c .1150. The lively and informative narrative covers the major developments, political and religious movements, people, saints and sinners, economic and cultural changes, ideals, fears, and fantasies of the period in Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world.
This new edition continues to stress the changing nature of history by making clear where historians have changed their minds or disagree about key issues. History is not a set of “facts,” though those (when known!) are useful. Equally important, if not more so, are the interpretations and connections that historians constantly make – and remake – of those facts.
In keeping with recent research, this edition also continues and expands its wide purview, placing new emphasis on global connections where relevant. Although the term “Middle Ages” was coined for a period in European history, I do not find it particularly meaningful except to refer to a chronological slice of time, around 300 to 1500. That period of time was equally experienced everywhere. But the particular focus of medieval history – which I take to be the whole region once ruled by Rome, plus the successors of that Empire, plus the permutations experienced by those successors, including their conquests and their conquerors – impels me to bring in the rest of the world where its history intersects with that of the heirs of Rome in important ways.
A comprehensive new map program, updated for the global reach of this edition, offers a way to visualize the era’s enormous political, economic, and religious changes. Line drawings make clear archaeological finds and architectural structures. All of the maps, genealogies, and figures in the book, as well as practice questions and suggested answers, are available at utphistorymatters.com.
