Description
First published in 1966, this has been widely used as a standard introduction to late medieval European history throughout the academic world. The text has been completely revised and updated and aims to provide a comprehensive analytical survey of later medieval Europe. It explores key themes such as the secular and religious roles of the Church; early Renaissance in Italy; and the cohesive effects of inter-European commerce. This edition includes an extended bibliography and a chapter on the central monarchies by Professor J.M.Bak of the University of British Columbia at Vancouver. Designed for all students studying medieval history, whether at university or sixth form, it should also be easily accessible to the lay enthusiast.
