Krátky popis
Since the fifteenth century, when humanist writers began to speak
of a middle period in history linking their time to the ancient
world, the nature of the Middle Ages has been widely debated.
Across the millennium from 500 to 1500, distinguished historian
Johannes Fried describes a dynamic confluence of political, social,
religious, economic, and scientific developments that draws a
guiding thread through the era: the growth of a culture of reason.
Beginning with the rise of the Franks, Fried uses individuals to
introduce key themes, bringing to life those who have too often
been reduced to abstractions of the medieval monk or knight.
Milestones encountered in this thousand-year traversal include
Europe s political, cultural, and religious renovation under
Charlemagne, the Holy Roman Empire under Charles IV, whose court in
Prague was patron to crowning cultural achievements, and the series
of conflicts between England and France that made up the Hundred
Years War and gave to history the enduringly fascinating Joan of
Arc. Broader political and intellectual currents are examined, from
the authority of the papacy and impact of the Great Schism, to new
theories of monarchy and jurisprudence, to the rise of scholarship
and science. The Middle Ages", is full of people encountering the
unfamiliar, grappling with new ideas, redefining power, and
interacting with different societies. Fried gives readers an era of
innovation and turbulence, of continuities and discontinuities, but
one above all characterized by the vibrant expansion of knowledge
and an understanding of the growing complexity of the world.",
