History of art: Byzantine & Medieval art

In this newest edition of A Short History of the Middle Ages, Barbara H. Rosenwein offers a panoramic view of the medieval world. Volume II ranges from England to China and from West Africa to the Baltic, while never losing sight of the main contours of the period c.900 to c.1500. The lively and informative narrative covers the major developments, political and religious movements, people, saints and sinners, economic and cultural changes, ideals, fears, and fantasies of the period in Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world.

A comprehensive new map program, updated for the global approach of this edition, offers a way to visualize the era’s enormous political, economic, and religious changes. Line drawings make clear archaeological finds and architectural structures. Key questions, along with possible answers, are available online for students to review and study.

Reviews for A Short History of the Middle Ages, Volume II: From c.900 to c.1500, Sixth Edition

"""Barbara H. Rosenwein's A Short History of the Middle Ages remains the standard, elegantly written and beautifully illustrated. With this edition, Rosenwein has widened the scope, bringing readers into Kievan Rus' and the Islamic world; added new features, which reinforce and deepen understanding; and incorporated the latest scholarly debates. A Short History of the Middle Ages is an indispensable teaching tool."" - Hussein Fancy, Yale University ""Written in a lucid, engaging style, A Short History of the Middle Ages remains the best survey of medieval history in print today. Barbara H. Rosenwein skillfully balances the story of medieval Europe and the Mediterranean with fascinating commentary on connections across Eurasia and, by 1500, to the Americas. The text includes new maps; many full-color reproductions of art, artifacts, and architecture; and updated suggestions for further reading."" - Celia Chazelle, The College of New Jersey"
