Medieval Europe

A spirited and thought-provoking history of the vast changes that transformed Europe during the 1,000 year span of the Middle Ages.

The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period, one not easily chronicled within the scope of a few hundred pages. 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.
