Synopsis
Originally intended as an introduction to a friend's biography of Ferdinand Magellan, this narrative of the Middle Ages describes many of the figures and events that led to the cultural and intellectual explosion of the modern age. It profiles many of the important figures of the day, including Martin Luther, Cesare Borgia, François Rabelais, Albrecht Durer, Pieter Brueghel, and Magellan.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The Densest of the medieval centuries--the six hundred years between roughly, A.D. 400 and A.D.. 1000--are still widely known as the Dark Ages."
Industry Reviews
"Because Manchester openly embraces a historical position now discarded by most medievalists, it must be assumed that this is a book for a popular rather than scholarly audience. But it is written by a professional and it may well be that this work will bring more readers to an interest in the period than any book written on the basis of the most recent scholarship."
