Description: Beginning with the merger of Roman, Christian, and Germanic cultures, this history of the Middle Ages covers a vast array of subjects including Byzantium and the Islamic world; feudalism, Church reform, and architecture; the Crusades; courtly love; the Magna Carta; and the Hundred Years' War. Author Barbara Hanawalt uses a lively and anecdotal writing style to bring history alive for young readers. She delves into the telling details that young adults find fascinating, such as the Roman road system and women's role in agriculture. Lavishly illustrated with art, photographs, documents, artifacts, and maps, The Middle Ages also includes a chronology, glossary, further reading list, and an index.
