Description
The Inheritance of Rome Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000 by Chris Wickham A fresh perspective on a pivotal period in European history, The Inheritance of Rome challenges the conventional view of the Dark Ages. Award-winning historian Chris Wickham presents a work of remarkable scope and rigorous yet accessible scholarship, drawing on a wealth of new material and featuring a thoughtful synthesis of historical and archaeological approaches. Wickham's narrative constructs a vivid portrait of the vast and varied world of Goths, Franks, Vandals, Arabs, Saxons, and Vikings, from Ireland to Constantinople, the Baltic to the Mediterranean. This groundbreaking book offers a fresh understanding of the crucible in which Europe would ultimately be created, revealing fascinating new insights into the formulation of European identity.
