    Extractions: Email: grwh2@york.ac.uk Guy Halsall's doctoral research, carried out at York, was on the archaeology and history of the Merovingian region of Metz (north-eastern France and southern Germany), c.350-c.750. This was published as a monograph, Settlement and Social Organization: The Merovingian region of Metz (Cambridge, 1995). The research for that project fuelled his interest in the study of early medieval cemeteries and led to a number of articles examining the ways in which the evidence of funerary archaeology could be used to drive a new social history of the post-Roman world, and to a critical offensive against the interpretation of particular burial styles as representing the graves of migrating Germanic barbarians. Besides studying the history and archaeology of Merovingian Gaul, Guy Halsall has developed an interest in the relationship between violence and society, culminating in the lengthy introduction to his edited volume Violence and Society in the Early Medieval West (Woodbridge, 1998; paperback 2002) and a study of feud and vengeance killing. This in turn led to a major monograph on warfare in early medieval society, to be published by Routledge in early 2003. Currently, his principal research project is a study of the Barbarian Migrations in western Europe (including the British Isles), c.350-c.650. All of the above projects have emphasised the problems of the relationship between archaeology and documentary history. Guy Halsall has published one major article on this topic and plans a volume on the subject in the future.

What can we know about European culture and society during the 500 or so years from the fall of the Roman Empire until the end of the first Christian millenium? In this course we will explore the emergence of a new, uniquely European world out of the encounter between earlier Roman and Barbarian societies, as well as the relationship between that world and the other great post-Roman civilizations of Islam and Byzantium. We will look at changing economies and social structures, the impact of Christianity, the nature of learning and knowledge, the place of women in society, the role of violence in European culture, and will conclude with a look at "Y 1-K" and apocalyptic thought around the millenium. In addition to familiarizing students with the outline of early medieval history and introducing some of the most important historiographical problems and debates related to the study of this period, the course is also designed to provide students with the opportunity to work with primary sources and to improve their ability to think, read and write critically.

In this class we will focus on the formative centuries of European history between 200 and 1000. During this time the Roman Empire was replaced by several successor states, Christianity became the dominant religion, and economy, society, and culture of Europe changed dramatically. This period presents many challenges, because sources are often scarce and hard to interpret. We will try to reconstruct a balanced picture of life in this period and try to understand its developments and people on their own terms, in their historical and cultural context. Our topics will include the interactions between economy, society, and culture, religious developments, life of men and women, education and learning. This course is designed to give students the knowledge of the main facts and concepts of early medieval history. At the same time the course aims at training students in critical interpretation of various kinds of sources and at further improving their skills of effective oral and written communication. Thus the course is designed to develop and sharpen the skills required by the university's "Principles of Undergraduate Learning.” Required Texts Brown, P.

    Extractions: Though originally taken from lectures that date before WWI, this history is what I would consider to be some the best, purely objective and fact-oriented, entirely focused on the subject at hand and nothing else. I miss this old style of historical writing, but thankfully this book provides it well. The divisions and subdivisions of the lectures make them very manageable and help the book read along quite easily. Though a few of the purely political lectures do drag a little, the light and quick-moving style of Bury gives a great overview and easily inputs all of the truly important information on the subject with excellence. This is among the best in books on the transition of Europe from Roman to barbarian, but also does a great job of showing that this was a transition, not an overnight shift as it is so often thought. That is an ongoing theme in the book and perhaps overall represents the best part of a truly fine piece of historical writing.

    Extractions: The land that today makes up Russia and its neighbors, until recently called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, covers an enormous area, one sixth of the total surface of the earth. Most of this land has a very cold climate and is covered by forests; some of the forest is deciduous like in western Europe and the eastern US, but most of the acreage is evergreen, called taiga by the Russians. The only significant barrier in the taiga is the Ural mts., which are no higher than the Appalachians, but for lack of a better boundary have been used to mark the boundary between Europe and Asia. Various primitive tribes, ranging from Slavs, Balts, and Finns in the west to cousins of the Eskimos in the east, have inhabited this region since the beginning of history. South of the forests are thousands of miles of grasslands, called the steppe. The widest part of the steppe is the Ukraine, the most important farmland of eastern Europe. The Steppe stretches in an almost unbroken path from Romania to Mongolia, making a perfect highway for nomads with their herds to travel on. Most of these nomads migrated out of Mongolia originally, following the steppe until they reached India, the Middle East, or Europe. On the southwest border of the steppe are the Crimea and the Caucasus mts., the only places with a pleasant climate that have ever been part of Russia.

    Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The medieval era of European history (also known as the Middle Ages The Middle Ages was the middle period in a schematic division of European history into three 'ages': Classical civilization, the Middle Ages, and Modern Civilization. It is commonly considered as having lasted from the end of the Western Roman Empire (5th century) until the rise of national monarchies and the beginnings of demographic and economic renewal after the Black Death, European overseas exploration and the cultural revival known as the Renaissance around the 15th century as well as the Protestant Reformation starting 1517.

Intellectual pursuits were primarily theological in nature. During this period, so-called 'barbarians'-those generally ignorant of Latin culture-took over the land formerly under Roman Imperial control. It was a period of widespread population movement, among Germanic peoples (the

    Extractions: Nennius was an Eighth century historian who is a major source for tales of King Arthur. [see #56 below]. Unlike the much more careful Bede, Nennius was, as one modern historian writes "unrestrainedly inventive" [ Gerhard Herm, The Celts , [London, 1976], p. 275]. Not all of Nennius can be dismissed as he apparently had access to no-longer available 5th century sources, but neither can he be entirely trusted. Chapter 31. . . . Vortigern [Guorthigirnus] then reigned in Britain. In his time, the natives had cause of dread, not only from the inroads of the Scots and Picts, but also from the Romans, and their apprehensions of Ambrosius. Chapter 36. After the Saxons had continued some time in the island of Thanet, Vortigern promised to supply them with clothing and provision, on condition they would engage to fight against the enemies of his country. But the barbarians having greatly increased in number, the Britons became incapable of fulfilling their engagement; and when the Saxons, according to the promise they had received, claimed a supply of provisions and clothing, the Britons replied, "Your number is increased; your assistance is now unnecessary; you may, therefore, return home, for we can no longer support you;" and hereupon they began to devise means of breaking the peace between them. Chapter 38. Hengist, after this, said to Vortigern, "I will be to you both a father and an adviser; despise not my counsels, and you shall have no reason to fear being conquered by any man or any nation whatever; for the people of my country are strong, warlike, and robust: if you approve, I will send for my son and his brother, both valiant men who at my invitation will fight against the Scots, and you can give them the countries in the north, near the wall called Gual. "The incautious sovereign having assented to this, Octa and Ebusa arrived with forty ships. In these they sailed round the country of the Picts, laid waste the Orkneys, and took possession of many regions, even to the Pictish confines.

    http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7124.html
    
    Extractions: Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format] Modern-day Europeans by the millions proudly trace back their national identities to the Celts, Franks, Gauls, Goths, Huns, or Serbsor some combination of the various peoples who inhabited, traversed, or pillaged their continent more than a thousand years ago. According to Patrick Geary, this is historical nonsense. The idea that national character is fixed for all time in a simpler, distant past is groundless, he argues in this unflinching reconsideration of European nationhood. Few of the peoples that many Europeans honor as sharing their sense of ''nation'' had comparably homogeneous identities; even the Huns, he points out, were firmly united only under Attila's ten-year reign. Geary dismantles the nationalist myths about how the nations of Europe were born. Through rigorous analysis set in lucid prose, he contrasts the myths with the actual history of Europe's transformation between the fourth and ninth centuriesthe period of grand migrations that nationalists hold dear. The nationalist sentiments today increasingly taken for granted in Europe emerged, he argues, only in the nineteenth century. Ironically, this phenomenon was kept alive not just by responsive populationsbut by complicit scholars. Ultimately, Geary concludes, the actual formation of European peoples must be seen as an extended process that began in antiquity and continues in the present. The resulting image is a challenge to those who anchor contemporary antagonisms in ancient mythsto those who claim that immigration and tolerance toward minorities despoil ''nationhood.'' As Geary shows, such ideologueswhether Le Pens who champion ''the French people born with the baptism of Clovis in 496'' or Milosevics who cite early Serbian history to claim rebellious regionsknow their myths but not their history.

Its premise was that western civilization was lucky to be alive. The "Dark Ages," as some have called the early Middle Ages, truly had been dark; just barely had the smoldering embers of the west's classical heritage survived to illuminate the world another day. But for the labors of a few monastic scribes, carefully copying the great works, who knows what sort of cultural backwater Europe would be now?
