Medieval Europe: A Short History Book

For more than three decades, C. Warren Hollister nurtured this classic text of "Medieval European History". The text was profoundly marked by his clear historical vision and engaging teaching style. Now, Judith Bennett has updated this classic book, while striving to lose neither Dr. Hollister's vision nor style. In his preface to the eighth edition, Professor Hollister wrote of his fateful realization, while in college, that our world today "is a product of the medieval past."
