Description: The period of
the early Middle Ages - from the fourth to the eleventh centuries - used to be
commonly called “the dark ages.” Now that term has been discarded by scholars,
who reject its implications as they recognize increasingly, the historical
importance of the period.
In this volume
eight historians, in as many essays, discuss various aspects of the life and
thought which prevailed during the centuries which extended from the time of
the establishment of Germanic “successor states” in the western provinces of
the Roman Empire to the appearnce of some of the economic and feudal
institutions which provided a basis for the civilization of the high Middle
Ages.
The essay, by
showing that a process of assimilation and synthesis of the Roman, Christian,
and barbarian elements characterized life in the early Middle Ages, demonstrate
that the significance of the period is far better indicated by words like
“transition” or “transformation” than by the term dark ages.
