Early Medieval Europe 300-1050 provides students with the conceptual and methodological tools to investigate this complex period. David Rollason identifies the major research questions and historiographical debates and offers guidance on how to engage with and evaluate the major documentary sources and the evidence of art history and archaeology. The new edition now extends beyond Western Europe, to include the research on the Byzantine Empire and the Moslem lands, but also the North Atlantic. Early Medieval Europe is an essential resource for students studying this period for the first time and for those wishing to gain confidence in creative and independent historical thought.
