The Germanic Invasions of the fifth century brought about the collapse of the Roman Empire. This book will change the way we think about those Dark Ages, looking at the Barbarians themselves rather than just their impact on the Roman empire. Has an unpretentious and engaging reading style and a thoroughly useful "Aftermath" chapter to conclude and wrap-up Contains information on the Celts, Slavs and Asiatics, as well as the more commonly written about Germanic barbarians The first up-to-date book in years
""Edward James, an Anglo-Saxon who lives amongst Celts, here offers a sure-footed, clear and sympathetic guide to the complex world of barbarian Europe, where scholarly theories are fought over with almost as much passion as loot from the Empire."" Bryan Ward-Perkins, Trinity College, Oxford ""A lively and informative introduction to the problems of the collapse of the late Roman Empire and the creation of the medieval world."" Hugh Elton, Trent University, Canada 'Barbarians' is the name the Romans gave to those who lived beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire - the peoples they considered 'uncivilised'. Most of the written sources concerning the barbarians come from the Romans too, and as such, need to be treated with caution. Only archaeology allows us to see beyond Roman prejudices - and yet these records are often as difficult to interpret as historical ones. Expertly guiding the reader through such historiographical complexities, Edward James traces the history of the barbarians from the height of Roman power through to AD 600, by which time they had settled in most parts of imperial territory in Europe. His book is the first to look at all Europe's barbarians: the Picts and the Scots in the far north-west; the Franks, Goths and Slavic-speaking peoples; and relative newcomers such as the Huns and Alans from the Asiatic steppes. How did whole barbarian peoples migrate across Europe? What were their relations with the Romans? And why did they convert to Christianity? Drawing on the latest scholarly research, this book rejects easy generalisations to provide a clear, nuanced and comprehensive account of the barbarians and the tumultuous period they lived through. Edward James trained as both an archaeologist and historian and is now Professor of Medieval History at University College Dublin. His single-authored books include "The Origins of France" (1982), "The Franks" (1988), and "Britain in the First Millennium" (2001), and he has also produced two award-winning books on science fiction, the single-authored "Science Fiction in the Twentieth Century "(1994) and "The Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction" (2003), co-edited with Farah Mendlesohn.
