Item description from seller

8vo 477pp. from front flap: "Our images of the Middle Ages--of wars, tournaments, and plagues, of kings and saints, of knights and ladies--are so vivid that it might be difficult to believe that they are recently minted. However, in this ground-breaking work, Norman F. Cantor explains that our current notion of the Middle Ages as an epoch is new, born of the twentieth century, when European and American scholars looked back from their own war-ravaged times and discovered another unique and troubled culture in the era between Rome and the Renaissance. In their hands, the century's great intellectual constructs--modernism, formalism, and the rest--became instruments of revelation, uncovering the roots of modern social institutions and cultural traditions in the Middle Ages." #02472. Book VG+: mild shelf wear else clean, square, tight, unmarked.
