About This Novel
"The New Cambridge History of the Middle Ages" has a total of 7 and 8 volumes. Compared with the old version of "Cambridge History of the Middle Ages", it is clearer in writing style and chapter arrangement. It breaks through the old framework of traditional political history and attempts to present a "comprehensive history", including economic, social, spiritual, cultural and other fields within the scope of discussion, and provides a more comprehensive and detailed record of the Middle Ages. It is worth noting that the new series breaks away from the past "Eurocentrism" that regarded Europe as the whole world, and opposes the mechanical piecing together or simple summing up of the histories of European countries. It strives to examine the historical development trajectories and mutual influences of European countries in the Middle Ages as a whole, reflecting the prosperity and progress of Western academic research over the past century. As the first volume of the New Cambridge History of the Middle Ages, this volume covers the basic historical process of Mediterranean Europe and Northern Europe, Scandinavia and the British Isles from the decline of the Roman Empire (around the 6th century) to the emergence of Western feudal society (around the 8th century).
