Medieval Experience - Foundations of Western Cultural Singularity

Informationen zum Autor Francis Oakley is President and Professor of History at Williams College. Klappentext Originally published by Charles Scribners' Sons, 1974. 'The perspective from which [this book] has been written is that of world history; the conviction determining its focus, that of Western cultural peculiarity or singularity; the belief suggesting its unifying theme, that it was during the medieval period - in particular, during the centuries from the eleventh onward - that the foundations were laid on which the edifice of Western cultural peculiarity was subsequently erected.' From the Introduction Zusammenfassung A far-ranging study examines five critical areas in which medieval civilization departed from earlier civilizations! and thereby contributed to the development of a unique European culture. A reprint of the 1974 edition.
