Germany in the Early Middle Ages, C. 800-1056 (Longman History of Germany)

The first volume chronologically in a new multi-volume History of Germany, Timothy Reuter's book is the first full-scale survey to appear in English for nearly fifty years of this formative period of German history -- the period in which Germany itself, and many of its internal divisions and characteristics, were created and defined. Filling an important gap, the book is itself a formidable scholarly achievement. A survey of Germany at a crucial time when many of its internal divisions and characteristics were created and defined. It covers political and ecclesiastical developments and with underlying elements of east Frankish and German society to show how its power and cohesion was maintained. Timothy Reuter.
