Description
Thinking Medieval: An Introduction to the Study of the Middle Ages by M. Bull This book provides an introduction to medieval history for students new to the subject, as well as graduate students on interdisciplinary programmes. It explores how the Middle Ages are represented in modern popular culture and examines the persistence of certain stereotypes. The book also investigates the challenges posed by medieval sources and their survival, and considers whether 'medieval' is a useful category for historical periodization. A final section looks at the relevance of medieval history in today's world. By examining these issues, Bull offers a fresh perspective on the Middle Ages and their enduring impact on our understanding of the past.
