Politics and History in the Tenth Century: The Work and World of Richer of Reims (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series) Book

This book uses a history written by a monk in the late tenth century as a point of departure for an exploration of the political, religious, and intellectual culture of tenth-century France. It focuses chiefly on the ways that this monk and his contemporaries engaged in and reacted to contemporary political events. In particular, it demonstrates that, for these men, the writing of history was itself a form of participation in the larger political events of their day and, likewise, that the act of writing was itself a political act.Read More
