This book is by far the best introduction to the "Medieval worldview" that I have yet read. It is not a chronological history and, for the most part, does not seek to tell the history of the period in a chronological way; this is the book you should read before getting yourself into reading a chronological history. The authors draw up a sympathetic account that really allows the reader to get inside the minds and, more importantly, the hearts of people from the Middle Ages, who can often seem like distant and bizarre figures. For a little while, while you read this book, you live in the Middle Ages, you feel a real companionship with those who lived over a thousand years ago and in a culture very different from ours today; this is a reflection of the great skill and care that the authors have put into this book. In addition, this book is filled from start to finish with citations, often rather lengthy but always on point, from the primary sources. I highly recommend reading this book. ( ) Full review: ( http://bachlab.balbach.net/coolread4.html#medievalworldview ) in summary: a brilliant and pithy survey of medieval history should be on the top of every beginners list. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Medieval World View, 2/e, is an engaging introduction to the people, places, and ideas that shaped the intellectual world of the Middle Ages. The book presents the presuppositions of medieval society in a systematic fashion by integrating brief, self-contained selections from primary texts and carefully captioned photographs into a narrative of the medieval world and its foundations. The text is divided into three parts. Treating both the classical and biblical antecedents of the Middle Ages and ending in Late Antiquity, Part 1 includes a thorough discussion of the monumental figure of St. Augustine. Part 2 deals with the early Middle Ages, beginning with the disintegration of the Roman Empire and continuing through the German invasions, the sixth- and seventh-century founders, and the renaissance associated with the reign of Charlemagne. Part 3 examines the High Middle Ages and beyond, following developments in the Church, in politics, and in arts and culture from the twelfth century through the end of the fourteenth century. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent scholarship in the field. It adds a new chapter covering the fourteenth century and pays greater attention to women and gender-related issues. The bibliography has been updated and revised and now provides a useful guide to electronic resources. The Medieval World View, 2/e, handles sophisticated issues with great clarity and ease, making this an ideal text for courses in medieval history, literature, or art history. Book jacket.
