Riassunto

Roger Collins provides a comprehensive account of the centuries during which Europe became a new culturally coherent, if politically divided, entity. This third edition of a classic textbook history of early medieval Europe is fully updated, rewritten and revised to take account of the latest scholarship and to improve its literary style. This volume:

· examines how the social, economic and cultural structures of Antiquity were replaced by their medieval equivalents
· defines the European context by looking at the external forces which helped to shape it through conflict
· explores key topics such as the fall of the Roman Empire, the rise of both Christianity and Islam, the Vikings, and the expansion of Latin Christian culture into eastern Europe

Featuring maps, genealogies, a chronology and bibliography to aid understanding, this third edition provides an essential reference work for those studying early medieval Europe.
