Item description from seller

It was in the Middle Ages that eastern and western Europe, as we know them today, took shape. For long the story of their relations was told in terms of fundamental racial antagonisms, but since 1945 historians on both sides of the 'iron curtain' have placed greater emphasis on the interchanges which linked both halves of the Continent into a single Christian civilization. The fruits of this revision are gathered in the present volume in which five historians from East and West - one Pole, one Czech, two Germans and the distinguished Cambridge scholar, Professor M. M. Postan - discuss the different aspects of East-West relations: the contacts and settlements of Slavs and Germans in the early centuries; the tangled story of political relationships; the impact of Christianity; the economic patterns of East-West trade; and cultural exchanges. The result is a book which bears remarkable testimony to the universality of medieval Christian civilization and is an important reminder that modern Europe, for all its political divisions, has a common cultural inheritance. Contents; Introduction : Towards a new concept of European history / Geoffrey Barraclough -- Slavs and Germans / Frantisek Graus -- Political relations between east and west / Karl Bosl -- The religious problems / Ferdinand Seibt -- Economic relations between eastern and western Europe / M.M. Postan -- Cultural interchanges / Alexander Gieysztor. 216 pages.…
