About This Book

A comprehensive intellectual history tracing Western Europe’s transition from antiquity through the Middle Ages, examining how Latin Christianity and recovered classical learning merged with Celtic, Teutonic, and barbarian influences to shape medieval modes of thought and feeling. It follows the transmission of Greek and patristic ideas, regional developments across Carolingian, Italian, French, German, and English contexts, and the growth of religious emotion in monastic reforms, mysticism, and saintly exemplars. It also treats popular belief, satire, and social institutions — feudalism, knighthood, chivalry, and courtly love — showing how ideals and lived realities interacted.
