The inheritance of Rome : a history of Europe from 400 to 1000

This history of early medieval Europe re-evaluates the period traditionally known as the Dark Ages, analysing how the centuries after the fall of Rome shaped European identity. It examines the diverse cultures, empires and political developments of the era.

brief_description
Historian Chris Wickham defies conventional views of the "Dark Ages" in European history with a work of rigorous yet accessible scholarship. Drawing on a wealth of new material and featuring a thoughtful synthesis of historical and archaeological approaches, Wickham argues that these centuries were critical in the formulation of European identity. Far from being a "middle" period between more significant epochs, this age has much to tell us in its own right about the progress of culture and the development of political thought. -- publisher
