Europe in the Central Middle Ages: 962-1154

 This wide-ranging introduction to medieval Europe has been updated and revised. In his popular survey Brooke explores the variety of human experience in the period. He looks at society, economy, religious life and popular religion, learning, culture, as well as political events; the rise of the Normans and the heyday of the medieval Empire. For the new edition there is increased coverage of the role of women and more attention to central Europe, Bohemia, Hungary and Poland.

Christopher Brooke is Dixie Professor Emeritus of Ecclesiastical History, University of Cambridge, and Life Fellow of Gonville and Caius College.
