Product Information

This is the first single-author study in over fifty years to offer an integrated appraisal of the early Middle Ages as a dynamic and formative period in European history. Written in an attractive and accessible style it makes extensive use of original sources to introduce early medieval men and women at all levels of society from slave to emperor and allows them to speak to the reader in their own words. It overturns traditional narratives and instead offers an entirely fresh approach to the centuries from c.500 to c.1000. Rejecting any notion of a dominant uniform early medieval culture it argues that the fundamental characteristic of the early middle ages is diversity of experience. To explain how the men and women who lived in this period ordered their world in cultural social and political terms it employs an innovative methodology combining cultural history regional studies and gender history. Ranging comparatively from Ireland to Hungary and from Scotland and Scandinavia to Spain and Italy the analysis highlights three themes: regional variation power and the legacy of Rome. The book's eight chapters examine the following subjects: Speaking and Writing; Living and Dying; Friends and Relations; Men and Women; Labour and Lordship; Getting and Giving; Kingship and Christianity; Rome and the Peoples of Europe. Collectively they establish the complex cultural realities which distinguished Europe in the period between the end of the central institutions of the western Roman empire in the fifth century and the emergence of a Rome-centred papal monarchy from the late eleventh century onwards. In the context of debates about the social religious and cultural meaning of 'Europe' in the early twenty-first century this books seeks the origins of European cultural pluralism and diversity in the early Middle Ages.
