A comprehensive, authoritative account of European history c.1415–c.1500.
'In a series of elegantly written and richly textured sketches,
this large book provides some 32 chapters on the material, cultural
and political condition of late medieval Europe. The task has been
immense and the product is testimony to the editorial commitment
that has sustained it in moments when others would surely have
faltered and fallen.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'This is a triumphant final volume of the series, which will enrich
historical literature for a long time to come.' Jeremy Catto, The
English Historical Review
