| Abstract
|
:
|
"Contesting the Middle Ages is a thorough exploration of recent arguments surrounding nine hotly debated topics: the decline and fall of Rome, the Viking invasions, the Crusades, the persecution of minorities, sexuality in the Middle Ages, women within Medieval society, intellectual and environmental history, the Black Death and, lastly, the waning of the Middle Ages. Sparking discussion and inspiring examination of the past and its ongoing significance in modern life, Contesting the Middle Ages is essential reading for students of Medieval history and historiography"--
