A history of Western Christendom in the high Middle Ages. Assuming no prior knowledge of the period, it seeks to explore the medieval mentality in greater depth than a conventional outline of political events.
First published to wide critical acclaim in 1992, The Two Cities has become an essential text for students of medieval history. For the second edition, the author has thoroughly revised each chapter, bringing the material up to date and taking the historiography of the past decade into account.
The Two Cities covers a colourful period from the schism between the eastern and western churches to the death of Dante. It encompasses key topics such as:
the Crusades
the expansionist force of the Normans
major developments in the way kings, emperors and Popes exercised their powers
a great flourishing of art and architecture
the foundation of the very first universities.
Running through it all is the defining characteristic of the high Middle Ages: the delicate relationship between the spiritual and secular worlds, the two 'cities' of the title.
This survey provides all the facts and background information that students need, and is defined into straightforward thematic chapters. It makes extensive use of primary sources, and makes new trends in research accessible to students. Its fresh approach gives students the most rounded, lively and integrated view of the high Middle Ages available.
