商品描述内容简介With a lucid and clear narrative style William Chester Jordan has turned his considerable talents to composing a standard textbook of the opening centuries of the second millennium in Europe. He brings this period of dramatic social, political, economic, cultural, religious and military change, alive to the general reader. Jordan presents the early Medieval period as a lost world, far removed from our current age, which had risen from the smoking rubble of the Roman Empire, but from which we are cut off by the great plagues and famines that ended it. Broad in scope, punctuated with impressive detail, and highly accessible, Jordan's book is set to occupy a central place in university courses of the medieval period.媒体推荐Jordan marvelously weaves the many and various events of the years 10001350 into a splendid historical tapestry. That this is the inaugural volume in the Penguin History of Europe augurs very well for the series. (Publishers Weekly) A splendid start to Penguins History of Europe series . . . [Jordan] writes elegantly and ironically, giving the reader a broad, but not dumbed down view of medieval society and its complexities. (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
