Europe in the Central Middle Ages by Christopher Brooke

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.
'colourful descriptions, vivid anecdotes, and vigorous narrative..characterize the whole of this learned and humane portrait of an era' Bruce L. Venarde, University of Pittsburgh, H-Net Reviews
