The Worlds of Medieval Europe updates and revises textbook representations of the Middle Ages in several exciting ways. It balances the traditional focus on political affairs, especially those of northern Europe, with equally detailed attention to medieval society as it developed in the Mediterranean, resulting in the nuanced portrayal of a multifarious western world that was sharply divided between its northern and southern aspects. It also integrates the histories of the Islamic and Byzantine world into the main narrative, rather than isolating them in discrete chapters, and in so doing it brings to new life the continuum of interaction--social, cultural, and intellectual as well as commercial--that existed between all three societies. Finally, it emphasizes throughout the ways in which the medieval Latin West attempted to understand the unified and rational structure of the human cosmos that it believed was always there beneath the observable diversity and disorder of the world; indeed this effort to re-create a human ordering of "unity through diversity" provides an essential key to understanding medieval Europe and the ways in which it regarded and reacted to the worlds around it.

Cr�ticas

Advance Praise: "This fresh and often iconoclastic survey acknowledges the diversity of medieval experiences--from era to era, region to region, class to class. The solid and traditional political narrative is enriched with an energetic discussion of environmental and technological issues, while social history, fascinating in itself, is successfully integrated into these contexts. Important intellectual themes of religion and philosophy are particularly accessible to students through a clear and focused examination of broader issues. The later Middle Ages, now the focus of much research, receive extended treatment. There are suggested texts and studies to draw students into the library but the text itself is so richly annotated with primary sources that as a course resource it could stand alone."--James W. Brodman, University of Central Arkansas Advance Praise: "This fresh and often iconoclastic survey acknowledges the diversity of medieval experiences--from era to era, region to region, class to class.
