Travel from the ruins of Rome to the guns of August in one lucid, compelling narrative. These pages make history live. Written by pioneering historian James Harvey Robinson, Medieval and Modern Times is a classic western European history textbook that guides readers through the great turning points of medieval western Europe and the making of the modern world. Designed as an introductory western civ overview, it moves from the fall of the Roman Empire through Middle Ages Europe history, Renaissance and Reformation Europe, and the emergence of powerful nation-states, preparing students and general readers alike to understand modern Europe 1500-1914 and beyond. Balancing political events with social and intellectual change, Robinson offers a medieval and modern history survey that is clear enough for high school European history courses yet rich enough for adult self-study.
