About this book
Debating medieval Europe serves as an entry point for studying and teaching medieval history. Rather than simply presenting foundational knowledge or introducing sources, it provides the reader with frameworks for understanding the distinctive historiography of the period, digging beneath the historical accounts provided by other textbooks to expose the contested foundations of apparently settled narratives. This second volume addresses the central and later Middle Ages, covering the period c. 1050– c. 1450. The chapters cover such topics as the papacy, the Empire and the German lands, the British Isles, the Crusades and the Latin East, and incorporates the very latest epidemiological research in its presentation of the Black Death. It features a highly distinguished selection of medieval historians, including Graham Loud, Amy Livingstone and Len Scales.
