Omschrijving

In this work, Professor Wood argues that the medieval period, often thought of as little more than a thousand years of barbarism and superstition separating the grandeur of Rome from the glories of the Renaissance, was actually a time of exuberant vitality whose manners and morals did much to shape the outlook of the modern world. The age of chivalry flourished between 1000 and 1450, but in order to set the period in perspective Charles Wood begins with the fall of Rome. He discusses the peasants and the life conditions of an age in which few lived to maturity; the aristocracy before and after they were civilized by knightly ideas, and the nature of the feudal ties among the lords which formed the basis of social organization; the changes that took place in the church; the agricultural revolution; the rise of the towns, the ideal of chivalry, courtly love and the crusading spirit. This is the story of life in the Middle Ages with all its violent contrasts.
