A Cultural History of Western Empires in the Middle Ages Paperback / softback
Edited by Matthew (Virginia Tech, USA) Gabriele
Part of the The Cultural Histories Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume explores a world that thought deeply about imperial power and emperors but one that perhaps never had an “empire†of its own.
These synthetic essays from experts across a wide variety of disciplines mine the intellectual world of this period and begin to demolish the myth of the so-called “Dark Ages,†showing how the European Middle Ages were illuminated by vigorous debates that echo today.
The story of medieval Western empires is both familiar and foreign.
It is a story about politics, culture, religion, society, gender, sex, and economics, and how porous the boundaries between those categories can often be. A Cultural History of Western Empires in the Middle Ages offers a detailed and highly-illustrated account of how we got to where we are, as well as the dangers of not fully understanding why those origins matter.
