The Two Cities: Medieval Europe 1050-1320
Reviews for the previous edition:.Barber has filled an important gap . for years, leaders of undergraduate courses on the central Middle Ages have longed for a book like this:  a single volume which supplies useful outline reference material as an adjunct to a clear and wide ranging analysis of complex events, and one which presents a rounded view of the different aspects of the period, on association with a bountiful supply of relevant primary sources in translation.  Above all, a book which presents the period as dynamic and fascinating, and positively invites the user to read more widely . a real tour de force.–Times Higher Education SupplementMalcolm Barber has succeeded admirably . a fine book . should find a wide and grateful readership.–HistoryA valuable introduction.–History TodayA  historical survey of unusual comprehensiveness.  Warmly recommended to upper-division undergraduates and their instructors.–Choice
