Ebook: Early Medieval Europe 300-1050: The Birth of Western Society

"Early Medieval Europe 300-1050" is a broad-brush survey of Western Europe from the period of the late Roman Empire (4th-5th centuries) through the period of the dissolution of that empire, the emergence of the barbarian kingdoms which succeeded it, and their consolidation under the Carolingian and Ottonian rulers on the Continent and the West Saxon and Danish kings in England, to the early 11th century, with the nascent kingdoms of France, Germany, and England. The book focuses on the big historical questions which the period raises, the sources for it and the ways in which historians have worked with them, and the competing approaches to the questions and interpretations which historians have developed.
