The story is told through endless sequences of names and dates. It's all correct and meticulously researched, of course, but such bare facts aren't very interesting in my opinion. They don't help me understand medieval European society. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
First published to wide critical acclaim in 1992, The Two Citieshas become an essential text for students of medieval history. For the second edition, the author has thoroughly revised each chapter, bringing the material up to date and taking the historiography of the past decade into account. The Two Citiescovers a colourful period from the schism between the eastern and western churches to the death of Dante. It encompasses key topics such as: the Crusades the expansionist force of the Normans major developments in the way kings, emperors and Popes exercised their powers a great flourishing of art and architecture the foundation of the very first universities. Running through it all is the defining characteristic of the high Middle Ages: the delicate relationship between the spiritual and secular worlds, the two 'cities' of the title. This survey provides all the facts and background information that students need, and is defined into straightforward thematic chapters. It makes extensive use of primary sources, and makes new trends in research accessible to students. Its fresh approach gives students the most rounded, lively and integrated view of the high Middle Ages available. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
