Ambles End in Tears. 330 $aMicro Middle Ages brings together five microhistorical case studies focusing on small or seemingly inconsequential evidence that leads to broader conclusions about medieval history and the way we do and understand history in general. Paul Dutton provides an overview of microhistorical approaches and theorizes about its use in pre-modern history. As opposed to studying history ?from above? or history ?from below,? Dutton shows the advantages for historians of doing history ?from the inside out,? starting from some single, overlooked, but potentially knowable thing, delving deep inside, and then reattaching it to its time and place. Such an approach has one abiding advantage: its insistence on being grounded in the particularity of the evidence. The book highlights what the microhistorical is, its conceptual and practical challenges. Dutton argues that the attention to the micro has always been with us and is a constitutive, cognitive part of who we are as humanbeings. Paul Edward Dutton is Emeritus Professor at Simon Fraser University, Canada. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America, a former president of the Canadian Society of Medievalists and councillor of the Medieval Academy of America, and author of eight books, monographs, editions and translations of medieval materials. 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aTheories of History 606 $aLiterary Theory 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aTheories of History. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 676 $a940.1 700 $aDutton$b Paul Edward$01435945 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910755078403321 996 $aMicro Middle Ages$93593989 997 $aUNINA
