The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period - one not easily chronicled within a single volume. Yet distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting account of medieval Europe in a generation.

Tracking the entire sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne's reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death. He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual lives and international events. Wickham offers both a new conception of Europe's medieval period and a provocative revision of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter.

I liked the broad sweep of circa 1000 years which showed how patterns developed as Europe evolved between the fall of the RomanEmpire and the beginnings of the modern world. I found the narration too fast for the density of the information (reduced to .9 it was okay).

Good overview

Well structured, easy to understand as hobby reading but full of valuable knowledge though. Recommended

Perfect narration. Consistent story

Interesting in areas and a struggle elsewhere Seemed to flip around Europe focusing on medieval politics rather than the daily lives of people and how it differed across the continent or changed across the period. Perhaps a book for study more than general interest.

Overall, a bit of a struggle if I'm honest.

This was an interesting listen that covers many topics across medieval Europe. Derek Perkins as the narrator was absolutely perfect for this.

It was a good listen, informative and I enjoyed it as someone who doesn’t really know much about the era. I’d recommend it to anyone with an interest who wants to gain insight into the European medieval world.

Good and Informative

A previous review suggested that this might be hard work but I found it to be an engrossing listen. Wickham combines a great deal of learning on a dense patchwork of medieval societies from Iceland down to Moorish Spain and from Russia out to the Irish clans. Due to the scope and erudition of the thing there were times when I had to go back and listen to something a second time but it was always worth it.

The book manages to create a deeply immersive picture of what life was like in the various parts of Europe from the Roman Empire's reinvention as Byzantium to the establishment of Protestantism as a state religion in many parts of the north. Wickham provides a nice balance of material about what Kings, Popes and nations were doing while drawing on diaries that have come down to us from ordinary people who long after their deaths can give us a glimpse into what it might feel like to live a medieval life. It's an added bonus that the author has a dry sense of humor which becomes increasingly amusing as the book goes on.

I like history and don't mind wrestling with quite dry books if they have something new or interesting to say but in this case I'd describe Medieval Europe as a serious historian's idea of popular history. It's written for the general public, there are great stories and engaging personality portraits but to get the most from it you have to concentrate from time to time.
