Opis

Using and Not Using the Past after the Carolingian Empire offers a new take on European history from c.900 to c.1050, examining the ‘post-Carolingian’ period in its own right and presenting it as a time of creative experimentation with new forms of authority and legitimacy.

Recenzje

Many of the contributors present unique approaches to their topics; some bring little-known texts to the light; some force a reassessment of well-known sources. What this book does do, and does well, is demonstrate the necessity of reconsidering the traditional historiography of the post-Carolingian world, while providing a multifaceted view of the many different approaches and methodologies that can be used to explore it.
