Debating Medieval EuropeStephen MossmanLabel: Manchester University PressDescription: Debating medieval Europe serves as an entry point for studying and teaching medieval history. Rather than simply presenting foundational knowledge or introducing sources it provides the reader with frameworks for understanding the distinctive historiography of the period digging beneath the historical accounts provided by other textbooks to expose the contested foundations of apparently settled narratives. It opens a space for discussion and debate as well as providing essential context for the sometimes overwhelming abundance of specialist scholarship.Volume I addresses the early Middle Ages covering the period c. 450–c. 1050. The chapters are organised chronologically and cover such topics as the Carolingian Order England and the ‘Atlantic Archipelago’ the Vikings and Ottonian Germany. It features a highly distinguished selection of medieval historians including Paul Fouracre and Janet L. Nelson.
This product would be a great fit for history enthusiasts who want to delve deeper into the complexities of Medieval Europe.
