Yet distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting account of medieval Europe in a generation. Tracking the entire sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne's reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death. He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual lives and international events. Wickham offers both a new conception of Europe's medieval period and a provocative revision of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMiddle Ages 606 $aSocial change$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aEurope$xSocial conditions$yTo 1492 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y476-1492 615 0$aMiddle Ages. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a940.1 700 $aWickham$b Chris$f1950-$0155127 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828617103321 996 $aMedieval Europe$91540314 997 $aUNINA
