Description

Medieval history as a field has evolved significantly since its inception. This second edition of John H. Arnold's seminal work explores the creation of medieval history, the nature of its sources, and the intellectual tools used by medievalists.

Arnold delves into key areas of thematic importance, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Reformation, examining fascinating case studies that shed light on the cultural and political contexts in which medieval history has been written. The book also addresses the challenges of interdisciplinary techniques, such as dialogue with scientists and archaeologists.

Through its exploration of the complexities of medieval history, this book provides a valuable guide for students, teachers, researchers, and interested readers, demonstrating why the pursuit of medieval history remains important not only to the present but also to the future.
