The Medieval World by Friedrich Heer
An Authoratative history of the middle ages in Europe. In 1100 Europe was open in boundaries, faith and outlook. By the middle of the 14th century it was closed - by Mongol & Turkish invasions, by the rift with Byzantium, by the intollerant dogmatism of the church. Friedrich Heer's tour de Force of scholarship and orginality recreates that world : the daily life of aristocrats and peasants, town dwellers and countryfolk; the growth of serfdom and the flowering of chivalry; the roles of cleric and courtier, painter and poet, King and Philosopher. In it we can see our own world in embryo. As Professor Heer writes: History is the present, the present is history'| SKU | Unavailable |
