Civilization of the Middle Ages

by Norman F Cantor

Civilization of the Middle Ages Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Now completely revised and expanded, this comprehensive general history of the Middle Ages centers on medieval culture and religion rather than on political history, and retains the powerful narrative flow that made the earlier edition so accessible and exciting.

Book News Annotation:

Cantor has rewritten about a third of his 1963 classic overview of the Middle Ages in Europe. The new edition incorporates recent research and gives more attention to topics that have become of more concern, such as women's experience, family history, piety and heresy. It will probably remain the standard undergraduate text for many years. Acidic paper.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
