Barbara H. Rosenwein is a professor emerita in history at Loyola University Chicago.
"Written in a lucid, engaging style, A Short History of the Middle
Ages remains the best survey of medieval history in print today.
Barbara H. Rosenwein skillfully balances the story of medieval
Europe and the Mediterranean with fascinating commentary on
connections across Eurasia and, by 1500, to the Americas. The text
includes new maps; many full-color reproductions of art, artifacts,
and architecture; and updated suggestions for further
reading."--Celia Chazelle, The College of New Jersey
"Barbara H. Rosenwein's A Short History of the Middle Ages remains
the standard, elegantly written and beautifully illustrated. With
this edition, Rosenwein has widened the scope, bringing readers
into Kievan Rus' and the Islamic world; added new features, which
reinforce and deepen understanding; and incorporated the latest
scholarly debates. A Short History of the Middle Ages is an
indispensable teaching tool."--Hussein Fancy, Yale University
