“Europe” in the Middle Ages

Descrição: From the nineteenth century onwards, historians described the Middle Ages as the cradle of the nation state—then, after World War II, they increasingly identified the period as the cradle of Europe. A close look at the sources demonstrates that both interpretations are misleading: while Europe was not a rare word, its use simply does not follow modern expectations. This volume contrasts modern historians' constructions of Europe in the Middle Ages with a fresh analysis of the medieval sources and discourses. The results force us to recognize that medieval ideas of ordering the world differ from modern expectations, thereby inviting us to reflect upon the use and limits of history in contemporary political discourse.
