Outlines of Medieval History

First published in 1924 as the second edition of a 1919 original, Previte-Orton’s wide-ranging history of medieval Europe describes ‘the wild but purposeful convulsions by which modern Europe was made’, beginning with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and moving through to the 16th century. The text is enhanced by genealogical tables, a list of recommended books and seven maps, and will be of value to anyone interested in this important historical period.
