The Evolution of the Medieval World by David Nicholas

The Evolution of the Medieval World by David Nicholas

This ambitious and wide-ranging study of the European Middle Ages respects the complexity and richness of its subject; always accessible, it is never merely superficial or over-simplistic. Stressing the long-term factors of continuity, evolution and change throughout, David Nicholas discusses the social and economic aspects of medieval civilization, and examines their links with political, institutional and cultural development. Designed for students and non-specialists, his book triumphantly meets the need for a comprehensive survey of the medieval world within the covers of a single authoritative volume.

'xxx; his summings-up and short explanations (he is very good on nicknames and illusion) are generally convincingThe bibliographies are good and there is a useful selection of maps. This is a textbook one would be happy to hand to students'.
