A good and comprehensive account of different aspects of government in the middle ages. The author wisely stays clear of particular political events and personages and focuses on general principles instead. He discusses the papacy, the king and the people in turn. The last sections on the slow emergence of popular government and its legitimation by aristotelian political thought were particularly interesting. The book is slightly old-fashioned in that no translations are provided for latin, french or german quotations, but this is only a minor nuisance. All in all this should be a great book for anyone interested in the history of government. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In many respects this book, first published in 1961, marked a somewhat radical departure from contemporary historical writings. It is neither a constitutional nor a political history, but a historical definition and explanation of the main features which characterised the three kinds of government which can be discerned in the Middle Ages - government by the Pope, the King, the People. The author's enviable knowledge of the sources - clerical, secular, legal, constitutional, liturgical, literary - as well as of modern literature enables him to demonstrate the principles upon which the papal government, the royal government, and the government of the people rested. He shows how the traditional theocratic forms of government came to be supplanted by forms of government based on the will of the people. Although concerned with the Middle Ages, the book also contains much that is of topical interest to the discerning student of modern institutions. Medieval history is made understandable to modern man by modern methods. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
