Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Medieval Europe This book aims to trace the development of Europe and its civilization, from the decline of the Roman Empire to the opening of the sixteenth century, for the benefit of the college student and the general reader. It is almost needless to say that such a work makes little claim to originality in method and still less in subject-matter, which it has shame lessly borrowed from numerous sources. Indeed, in a book of this sort it is more fitting to apologize for anything new that one says than for following in old and beaten tracks. The author, of course, hopes that without making too radical departures he has introduced some improvement in selection and presentation of material, and that he has made few mistakes of fact and interpretation. The Table of Contents indicates the general plan of the volume, which is to treat medieval Europe as a whole and to hang the story upon a single thread, rather than to recount as distinct narratives the respective histories of France, England, Germany, Italy, and other countries of modem Europe. French or English history may be studied as such in courses and books so labeled. Moreover, the modern interest in the national state has usually been car ried too far in the study of the Middle Ages. Local division, not national unity and central government, is surely the striking feature through most of the medieval centuries.

Download or read book A History of Medieval Europe written by R.H.C. Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.C. Davis provided the classic account of the European medieval world; equipping generations of undergraduate and ‘A’ level students with sufficient grasp of the period to debate diverse historical perspectives and reputations. His book has been important grounding for both modernists required to take a course in medieval history, and those who seek to specialise in the medieval period. In updating this classic work to a third edition, the additional author now enables students to see history in action; the diverse viewpoints and important research that has been undertaken since Davis’ second edition, and progressed historical understanding. Each of Davis original chapters now concludes with a ‘new directions and developments’ section by Professor RI Moore, Emeritus of Newcastle University. A key work updated in a method that both enhances subject understanding and sets important research in its wider context. A vital resource, now up-to-date for generations of historians to come.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Medieval and Modern Europe The attempt has been made to narrate the history of the more important countries together in chronological order, in stead of giving to each a separate treatment, and so obliging the reader to move forward and backward along the Chrono logical series and, by an unusual effort of attention, make the necessary correlation of events, or fail to gain an adequate con ception of the progress of Europe as a whole. Many events in one country directly affected events in another or at least illustrated similar tendencies in thought or in institutions. The result of the attempt to narrate the history of Europe in this way may occasionally seem to lack the compactness and clearness of a separate treatment, but it Should possess the advantages of a larger unity, making intelligible what might otherwise seem the consequence of individual caprice or of chance. This method should also accustom the pupil to group events, in order by discovering their relations to gain more of their meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Middle Ages This translation is published in the confident belief that it will prove as valuable a book for school use and general reading among us as it has proved itself in France. Care has been taken to distinguish the editor's work from the author's, in both text and notes. Some few omissions have been made from the author's text without notice, chiefly for the purpose of simplifying the narrative, and corrections of dates and of manifest typographical errors have not been marked, but in every case where the author's meaning has been changed the fact is indicated by the use of brackets, and the editor's notes are signed, while theauthor's are left unsigned. In general, the intention has been to confine changes and notes to points of sufficient importance to justify notice, but in a book of this kind it is hardly possible that every statement in need of revision has been detected, and I am conscious to myself of unequal knowledge of the different subjects dealt with.

Download or read book Mediaeval Europe written by Ephraim Emerton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mediaeval Europe: 814-1300 The present volume owes its origin to repeated requests, coming from widely scattered and widely different sources, that I would go on with the history of continental Europe from the point where it was left at the close of a little book published in the year 1888. That earlier book, "An Introduction to the Study of the Middle Ages," was written in the hope that it might fill a place, at that time unoccupied, between the manuals of Roman history and those upon mediaeval times. This hope has been fairly realized, and the many kind expressions of good-will it has brought me have given me confidence for this new venture. When I began the former volume I had in mind a reader of about fifteen years of age; but this person grew insensibly older as the work progressed, and, in fact, the book has found its chief use in the earlier stages of college teaching. This second book will assume a certain familiarity with the period covered by the former, a period now, happily, to be studied in more than one excellent manual. It has for its subject the period extending from the death of Charlemagne to about the middle of the thirteenth century, and it seems important to justify in some way this selection of limits. The division of history into periods is at best a very doubtful matter. Any attempt of the sort must seem to violate the first great canon of historical science that history admits of no breaks in its continuity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early European History This book aims to furnish a concise and connected account of human progress during ancient, medieval, and early modern times. It should meet the requirements of those high schools and prepara tory schools where ancient history, as a separate discipline, is being supplanted by a more extended course introductory to the study of recent times and contemporary problems. Such a course was first outlined by the Regents of the University of the State of New York in their Syllabus for Secondary Schools, issued in 1910.

Its successive editions showed enrichment in text and notes; and, the Literature of Europe once off his hands, he set about a more thorough revision of the Middle Ages, producing in 1848 a volume of supplemental notes, which aimed to bring his work nearer the level of later research, and in the tenth edition of the book (1853)-the last prepared under the au thor's eye - these supplemental notes were incorporated with the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Source Book for Medieval History: Selected Documents Illustrating, the History of Europe in the Middle Age It is impossible, of course, to give explicit directions as to the use of the book, other than the very obvious methods of requiring the student to read and analyze the documents assigned in connection with the lesson in the text-book, and of making clear to him the rela tion of the document to the event. It may be possible also for the teacher to give the student some notion of the meaning of historical method e.g., the necessity of making allowance for the ignorance or the bias of the author in chronicles, or the way in which a knowledge of institutions is deduced from incidental references in documents. Suggestions of both sorts will be found in the introduction and notes. The teacher should insist on the use of such helps as are found in the book: notes. Cross-references, glossary, etc. Groups of docu ments can be used to advantage in topical work: assigned topics worked up from authorities can be illustrated by documents selected from the book; e.g., imperial elections, papal elections, the Normans in Sicily, history of the Austrian dominions, Germans and Slavs on the eastern frontier, relations of the emperors and the popes before the investiture strife, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Medieval and Modern History Classic Reprint written by Hutton Webster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval and Modern History This book, as the title indicates, covers both the Middle Ages and modern times. The chapters treating the period from the sixth to the seventeenth century are reproduced from my Early European History, with minor modifications and with additional maps and illustrations. The entire work has been written since the outbreak of the World War, and its probable consequences have been kept constantly in mind. If it be true, as Bishop Stubbs once said, that nothing in the past is dead to the man who would learn how the present comes to be what it is, then surely the prime business of the author of a text-book dealing with European history is to make plain the remoter causes, as well as the immediate ante cedents, of a struggle epochal in the life of humanity. How far I have succeeded in doing so must be left to the reader's judgment. The Suggestions for Further Study contain a classified and annotated bibliography of those historical works which appear to be reasonably well adapted to the needs of pupils in secondary schools. References to the appropriate chapters of my Readings in Medieval and M odern History are also inserted in footnotes. This volume consists of extracts from the sources, chiefly of a biographical or narrative character. As stated in the preface, Each chapter deals with a single epoch or personality and presents the work of a single author. The passages quoted are long enough to make a definite impression on the reader, thus avoiding the scrappy effect necessarily produced by a set of short, unrelated extracts. Since many of the selections are good literature as well as good history, I hope that students will be tempted to turn to the original sources from which excerpts have been taken, and to read in them at length for their own enjoyment.
