Informazioni sul libro
The 10th century in Western Europe includes eleven essays, ranging from Portugal to Iceland, including Spain, England, Ireland, France and Italy, embracing a variety of methodological approaches and scrutinizing numerous and diverse types of sources, including archaeological finds along with textual evidence such as historical narratives, hagiography, and cartularies. The contributions revise, challenge and enhance the existing scholarship on early medieval societies and their political and social complexities, while making readers aware of the wide-ranging and intertwined processes which defined change and continuity in tenth-century Western Europe. Essays from both historians and archaeologists achieve a re-reading of a the tenth century, which has been central to the interpretation of the historical development of Europe over the past decade.
