Description: "This revised and updated new edition of Professor Mundy's book is a lively introduction to Europe in 1150-1300 designed for students, teachers, scholars and general readers alike. Rather than a chronological narrative of events, it provides a portrait of the social, economic, political and intellectual life of Latin Christendom in the period. The author's use of contemporary sources is a particular strength of the book: wherever possible the men and women of the high middle ages are allowed to speak for themselves, commenting on their aims and their times in a way that makes their distant lives as complex and immediate as our own today."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 383-393) and index.
