Bridging the Medieval-Modern Divide: Medieval Themes in the World of the Reformation: Catholic Christendom, 1300-1700

Editat de James Muldoon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2013
The debate about when the middle ages ended and the modern era began, has long been a staple of the historical literature. In order to further this debate, and illuminate the implications of a longue durée approach to the history of the Reformation, this collection offers a selection of essays that address the medieval-modern divide. Covering a broad range of topics - encompassing legal, social, cultural, theological and political history - the volume asks fundamental questions about how we regard history, and what historians can learn from colleagues working in other fields that may not at first glance appear to offer any obvious links. By focussing on the concept of the medieval-modern divide - in particular the relation between the Middle Ages and the Reformation - each essay examines how a medievalist deals with a specific topic or issue that is also attracting the attention of Reformation scholars. In so doing it underlines the fact that both medievalists and modernists are often involved in bridging the medieval-modern divide, but are inclined to construct parallel bridges that end between the two starting points but do not necessarily meet. As a result, the volume challenges assumptions about the strict periodization of history, and suggest that a more flexible approach will yield interesting historical insights.

Recenzii

'Bridging the Medieval-Modern Divide lives up to its title. The essays contained within are varied and often quite differing in their approach to the historiography of the fuzzy distinction between the Middle Ages and the early modern period. ... James Muldoon has inspired a most constructive work, one that will hopefully continue to flower and gradually fill the gap between the medieval and the early modern.' Sixteenth Century Journal
