"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. This volume focuses on the history of Europe in the 10th century. In order to obtain a complete landscape, the volume was written from the 990s to the 1130s (1024), covering nearly a century and a half, so the author describes this stage of history as the "long 10th century". During the translation process, the translator deeply felt the author's academic realm and writing characteristics, and also got to know and understand the "long" history of the 10th century written by the author.
