Buch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The 'lessons of history' cannot be reduced to some specious argument that knowledge of the past provides a privileged insight into the present. Nevertheless these essays show that a deep understanding of the otherness of the medieval past and of the myriad possibilities of belief, thought, and behavior of this distant and yet creative period, can help us to understand both how the medieval past has shaped our present as well as how this same past offers models for thinking and acting differently. One need not agree with all of the authors represented in this volume either in their reading of the Middle Ages or in their recommendations for the present in order to applaud them for being what everyone should be: a thoughtful, engaged and critical participant in the great adventure of life.

They focus on a variety of regions, from North Africa and the Middle East, through Western and Central Europe, to the British Isles. All the essays are written so as to be accessible to students, and each is accompanied by a list of further readings.…
