Produktbeschreibung
This general survey of medieval European economy, society, and culture is intended as a first guide to the subject for college students. The author has been particularly concerned to demonstrate the vitality and diversity that the world of the Middle Ages achieved, despite the fact that 'the physical aspects of life were exceedingly difficult.' This very usable and accessible textbook is enhanced by illustrations and source quotations which help convey a sense of the period's historical texture. The range of topics explored is extensive. She probes the problems faced by Jews in a predominately Christian society, and contemplates as well the problems faced by women.
