A history of the middle ages
Some things have to be said up front about this book:
(1) It was originally published in 1968.
(2) It was written with the average reader in mind. So, it provides a general outline of the period.
(3) It is regular history. It is very much who, what, where and when, and maybe a few why's and how's brought in here and there. Greater Economics, Religion, Folk-movements, Language and archeological discoveries do not play big roles except where they are thought of as or interact with what is commonly thought of as normal regular history.
(4) It very much concentrates on Europe, and even then more so on Western Europe (England, France, Germany the low countries and Italy).
All that said I like it because it provides a good introduction to the history of the middle ages. I have given this book as a gift to friends and family who was interested in the history of the middle ages..
