Description

The Middle Ages are often misunderstood as a dark and unchanging period, but in reality, people's horizons expanded dramatically between 1000 and 1600. This transformation marked the transition from a warrior-led society to one that laid the foundations for the modern world. Ian Mortimer's book, Medieval Horizons, provides a fresh perspective on the era, correcting misconceptions and presenting the period as a revolutionary age of fundamental importance. The book explores the enormous cultural changes that took place, from literacy to living standards, inequality, and the developing sense of self. By reading Medieval Horizons, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the Middle Ages and their lasting impact on the Western world.
