From Bohemia to Rus' and from the White Sea to the Balkans, Medieval East Central and Eastern Europe by Florin Curta and Sebastien Rossignol covers the medieval history of a large area. This groundbreaking textbook is an important introduction for students and an essential tool for instructors of courses on the Middle Ages and the entire eastern half of Europe.

Written in an accessible style that appeals to a general reader, this textbook explicates the diversity of historical experiences available in these parts of Europe during the Middle Ages from the influence of Byzantine traditions in the Balkans to the integration of Western cultures and the impact of the Eurasian steppe lands. This text highlights the distinct social and cultural characteristics that shaped these societies, including the persistence of nomadic groups, the limited reach of feudalism, and the enduring presence of pagan, Jewish, and Muslim communities.Structured with chronological overviews and thematic chapters, Medieval East Central and Eastern Europe is an invaluable resource on underrepresented regions for specialists and non-specialists alike.
