The early medieval world
from the fall of Rome to the time of Charlemagne
Volume one of a two-volume set explaining how invading and migrating barbarian tribes contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire, and documenting how the blending of Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian cultures birthed a new civilization in Western Europe, creating the modern nation-state. Entries from A to K discuss political transformation, changing religious practices in daily life, sculpture and the arts, material culture, and social structure, and provide biographies of important men and women.
