The Birth of Europe: 400 - 1500 Review

Jacques Le Goff is a renowned scholar with a gift of coherent explaination. He helped me to understand the time between the decline of Rome and the advent of the Renaissance in a new way. He brought color and life to what had been a landscape with few discernible features.

Charlemagne's reign formed just a part of the labor. Feudalism, chivalry, the rise of the university all played dynamic parts in a complex society before the idea of Europe really came to full form.

Just like the ideas of the Roman Empire, the ideas accompanying the birth od Europe continue to influence and shape us.
