The 2006 book addresses three interconnected themes in the study of the history of the early and high Middle Ages. Firstly, historiography, the development of the modern study of the medieval past. How do our contemporary and inherited preconceptions and pre-occupations determine our view of history? Secondly, the importance of symbolic action and communication in the politics and polities of the Middle Ages. Finally, the need to avoid anachronism in our consideration of medieval politics. Throwing light both on modern mentalities and on the values and conduct of medieval people themselves, and containing articles, at time of publication, never previously been available in English, this book is essential reading for any serious scholar of medieval Europe. 517 3 $aMedieval Polities & Modern Mentalities 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 676 $a940.1072 700 $aReuter$b Timothy$0220652 702 $aNelson$b Janet L$g(Janet Laughland),$f1942- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457184103321 996 $aMedieval polities and modern mentalities$92449873 997 $aUNINA
