Beatrice's Last Smile - A New History of the Middle Ages

A grand and sweeping narrative of the history of the Middle Ages from the fourth to the sixteenth centuries, encompassing the Eurasian landmass from North Africa to the Asian Steppes and Western Europe. Mark Gregory Pegg sheds light on how Christianity and Islam evolved out of a shared cultural and religious ferment, and what this dynamic exchange meant for the development of the West.
