This one thousand year history of the civilization of westernEurope has already been recognized in France as a scholarlycontribution of the highest order and as a popular classic. JacquesLe Goff has written a book which will not only be read bygenerations of students and historians, but which will delight andinform all those interested in the history of medieval Europe.

Part one, Historical Evolution , is a narrative accountof the entire period, from the barbarian settlement of Roman Europein the fifth, sixth and seventh centuries to the war–torn crises ofChristian Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

Part two, Medieval Civilization , is analytical,concerned with the origins of early medieval ideas of culture andreligion, the constraints of time and space in a pre–industrialworld and the reconstruction of the lives and sensibilities of thepeople during this long period. Medieval Civilizationcombines the narrative and descriptive power characteristic ofAnglo–Saxon scholarship with the sensitivity and insight of theFrench historical tradition.
