Whereas modern societies tend to banish the dead from the world of the living, medieval men and women accorded them a vital role in the community.

Die dramatischen Jahrhunderte von der Spätantike bis zum Mittelalter sind das Thema dieser Geschichte vor Karl dem Großen.

Geary als einen vielschichtigen Prozeß der "Barbarisierung der Römer und Romanisierung der Barbaren".

The eminent historian Patrick J. Geary has written a provocative book, based on lectures delivered at the Historical Society of Israel about the role of language and ideology in the study and history of the early Middle Ages. He includes a fascinating discussion of the rush by nationalist philologists to rediscover the medieval roots of their respective vernaculars, the rivalry between vernacular languages and Latin to act as transmitters of C...

Through rigorous analysis set in lucid prose, he contrasts the myths with the actual history of Europe's transformation between the fourth and ninth centuries--the period of grand migrations that nationalists hold dear.
