Description
Combining several new approaches to a study of early medieval Europe, Archibald Lewis shows that the period traditionally known as the “dark ages” was actually one of growth and progress. He defines Europe broadly to include the area stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals and lying between the Mediterranean and the Arctic. The interaction between East and West – between Moslem, Byzantine, and Western European cultures – emerges as an integral part of the development of European civilization. Ample evidence of a wide range of achievements contributes to the characterization of a medieval Europe marked by creativity, movement, and change.
