A History of the Middle Ages, 300-1500 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This clear and comprehensive text covers the Middle Ages from the classical era to the late medieval period.

John M. Riddle provides a cogent analysis of the rulers, wars, and events-both natural and human-that defined the medieval era.

Taking a broad geographical perspective, Riddle includes northern and eastern Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic states.

Each, he convincingly shows, offered values and institutions that presaged modernity.

In addition to a thorough chronological narrative, the text offers humanizing features to engage students.

Each chapter opens with a theme-setting vignette about daily life and introduces students to key controversies and themes in historiography by discussing the work of a prominent medieval historian.

Richly illustrated, this lively, engaging book will immerse readers in the medieval world, an era that shaped the foundation for the modern world.
