The book was divided into very helpful chapters, each detailing a different aspect of life: i.e. Religion, Art, the peasants life, the noble's life, the knight's life, etc. While the book was dense, that was only because it held so much useful information. A very great guide to an overview of that time period. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In this indispensable volume, one of America's ranking scholars combines a life's work of research and teaching with the art of lively narration. Both authoritative and beautifully told, The Middle Ages is the full story of the thousand years between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance - a time that saw the rise of kings and emperors, the flowering of knighthood, the development of Europe, the increasing power of the Catholic Church, and the advent of the middle class. With exceptional grace and wit, Morris Bishop vividly reconstructs this distinctive era of European history in a work that will inform and delight scholars and general readers alike.

Most of this appealed to me, except Chapters 8 (the Life of Thought) & 9 (focuses on art & music). That’s just my taste, though, & not a reflection on the author’s writing.
Worth a read if you’re interested in the middle ages, unless you need something more scholarly. ( )
