Introduction to Medieval Europe 300-1500: Third Edition Wim Blockmans

Introduction to Medieval Europe 300-1500 provides a comprehensive survey of this complex and varied formative period of European history, covering themes as diverse as barbarian migrations, the impact of Christianisation, the formation of nations and states, the emergence of an expansionist commercial economy, the growth of cities, the Crusades, the effects of plague, and the intellectual and cultural life of the Middle Ages. The book explores the driving forces behind the formation of medieval society and the directions in which it developed and changed. In doing this, the authors cover a wide geographic expanse, including Western interactions with the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic World.

This third edition contains a wealth of new features that help to bring this fascinating era to life, including:

In the book:

  • A number of new maps and images to further understanding of the period
  • Clear signposting and extended discussions of key topics such as feudalism and gender
  • Expanded geographic coverage into Eastern Europe and the Middle East

On the companion website:

  • An updated, comparative and interactive timeline, highlighting surprising synchronicities in medieval history, and annotated links to useful websites
  • A list of movies, television series and novels related to the Middle Ages, accompanied by introductions and commentaries
  • Assignable discussion questions and the maps, plates, figures and tables from the book available to download and use in the classroom

Clear and stimulating, the third edition of Introduction to Medieval Europe is the ideal companion to studying Europe in the Middle Ages at undergraduate level.

Introduction to Medieval Europe 300-1500 Bewertungen

'Instructors seeking an alternative to the standard political and institutional narrative found in most medieval history texts will find the new edition of Blockmans and Hoppenbrouwers to be a superb choice. With its focus on social groups and cultural movements, the text is also written in a fluid style that will engage students. I look forward to using it in my next medieval history survey.'

Edward Tabri, University of Texas at Tyler
