Bøger af David M Nicholas

This ambitious and wide-ranging study of the European Middle Ages stresses the long-term factors of continuity, evolution and change. David Nicholas discusses the social and economic aspects of medieval civilization, and examines their links with political, institutional and cultural development.

This is the first in a two-volume study of the medieval city. It traces the slow regeneration of urban life in the early-medieval period, showing where and how an urban tradition had survived from late antiquity, and when and why new urban communities began to form where there was no continuity.
