Loren Carey MacKinney Collection on Medieval Medicine, circa 1930-1963
Southern Historical Collection, Coll. #3665
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Late Antiquity (ca. 250-600/700): An era of transition in politics, society and religious life. No longer the classical Roman world of Cicero and Caesar, but not yet the Middle Ages either.
Early Middle Ages (ca. 600/700-1000): Europe hits a rough patch, with political fragmentation, cultural limitations, and a stagnate economy, but also laying critical foundations for later developments.
The High Middle Ages (ca. 1000-1300/1350): the European economy, society, politics, and intellectual life flourish in this confident age of cathedrals, a strong papacy, crusaders and increasingly capable monarchies.
The Later Middle Ages (ca. 1300/1350-1500): Plague, war, famine, religious disputes and cultural uncertainty illustrate the limits of the "medieval synthesis," but also point toward the coming of the modern age.
Bartlett, Robert. The Making of Europe: Conquest, Colonization, and Cultural Change, 950-1350. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1994. This influential work explores how the expansion of Europe in the High Middle Ages shaped the internal dynamics of European society, as well as the lands along its frontiers. Bloch, Marc. Feudal Society. (1939). Trans. L. A. Manyon. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1961. A classic that takes a sweeping look at the institutions, mores, and mentality of the Early and High Middle Ages. Bossy, John. Christianity and the West, 1400-1700. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1985. Bossy explores the transition from the later Middle Ages into the era of the Protestant Reformation, without assuming that the later medieval church was decadent or in decline. Brown, Peter L. The Cult of Saints: Its Rise and Function in Latin Christianity. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1981. Brown examines the social and cultural function of saints' relics in late antiquity, countering the notion that the cult of saints represented a "popular," pagan survival in the Christian world. ———. The Body and Society: Men, Women and Sexual Renunciation in Early Christianity. New York: Columbia University Press, 1988. Brown looks at sexuality and Christian attitudes toward the body for what they tell us about the transformations of the Roman world in late antiquity. ———. The World of Late Antiquity. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1971. A classic by the historian who put "late antiquity" on the map. Bynum, Caroline W. Holy Feast and Holy Fast: the Religious Significance of Food to Medieval Women. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1987. Drawing upon anthropology and a sympathetic reading of the sources, this important work explores the meaning of food and fasting for women's spirituality in the Later Middle Ages. Constable, Giles. The Reformation of the Twelfth-Century. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1996. A venerable figure of medieval studies looks at the creative and often turbulent changes in the forms of religious life that accompanied the High Middle Ages. Duby, George. Rural Economy and Country Life in the Medieval West. (1968). Philadelphia: University of Pennslyvania Press, 1998. If you are interested in the gritty details of economic life and society in the Early Middle Ages, this is your book. Elliott, Dyan. Spiritual Marriage: Sexual Abstinence in Medieval Wedlock. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1993. By exploring the practice of "spiritual marriage" (that is, couples who remain in wedlock but forbear conjugal relations), Elliott exposes some of the tensions in the effort of the Roman Church to drawn a clear line between the married laity and celibate clergy. Fichtenau, Heinrich. Living in the Tenth Century. Trans. Patrick Geary. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1991. This unusual work immerses its reader in the mores, mentalities, symbols and customs of the tenth century, a period often skipped over by surveys of medieval history. Freedman, Paul. Images of the Medieval Peasant. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1999. This book might not tell you much about the "lived experiences" of agricultural laborers in the later Middle Ages, but it draws an evocative portrait of how Europe's literate elite viewed the peasants that surrounded them on all sides. Geary, Patrick. Before France and Germany: The Creation and Transformation of the Merovingian World. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1988. Moving beyond the stereotypes of "decline and fall," Geary guides his readers through the rough-and-tumble world of barbarians and local Romans in Western Europe, who realize that they could make it on their own without the increasingly ineffective imperial government. Given, James. Inquisition and Medieval Society: Power, Discipline and Resistance in Languedoc. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1997. Given explores the interplay "inquisitors" and "heretics" on a local level, avoiding stereotypes about "the Inquisition" as pervasive, all-powerful entity that terrorized medieval society. Gold, Penny S. The Lady and the Virgin. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. This slim volume explores the worlds of medieval "epic" and "romance," and what they tell us (or not) about the lives of actual women in the High Middle Ages. Lawrence, C. H. Medieval Monasticism. London: Longman, 1989. A comprehensive survey of monastic life and institutions from late antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. Little, Lester. Religious Poverty and the Profit Economy in Medieval Europe. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1978. Little asks how the rapidly developing economy of the High Middle Ages impacted medieval spirituality, ranging from increased animosity toward the Jews (associated with usury) to creative forms of urban piety. Kedar, Benjamin. Crusade and Mission. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1994. This volume explores the development of medieval Christian attitudes toward the conversion of Muslims, inextricably linked to notions of violent conflict between the two faiths. McKitterick, Rosamond. The Carolingians and the Written Word. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1989. McKitterick examines the political, social, and intellectual importance of literacy during the "Caroingian Renaissance" of the late-eight and early-ninth centuries. Moore, R. I. Formation of a Persecuting Society: Power and Deviance in Western Europe, 950-1250. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987. With this famous and hotly debated work, Moore put the question of Christian attitudes toward "Others" (e.g. heretic, Jews, lepers) front and center in how we understand the High Middle Ages. Morris, Colin. The Papal Monarchy: The Western Church from 1050-1250. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989. A sweeping look at the development of the Roman Church and papacy during its "golden age" of the High Middle Ages. Muldoon, James. Popes, Lawyers and Infidels: The Church and the Non-Christian World. Philadelphia: University of Pennslyvania Press, 1979. A personal favorite that examines how the Roman Church claimed authority over the "outside world" of non-believers during the European expansion of the High Middle Ages up until the "discovery" of the New World. Riley-Smith, Jonathan. The First Crusade and the Idea of Crusading. London: Athlone, 1986. A concise, readable volume that covers the basics on crusading. Spiegel, Gabrielle. The Past as Text: Theory and Practice of Medieval Historiography. Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press, 1997. A medievalist's take on the "linguistic turn" and the place of medieval studies in post-modern academics. Southern, Richard. The Making of the Middle Ages. London: Pimlico, 1953. A must-read classic that feels its way through the society, culture, piety, and sensibilities of the High Middle Ages. Straw, Carol. Gregory the Great: Perfection in Imperfection. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989. Straw brings the reader into intimate contact with the spirituality and intellectual universe of Pope Gregory I, one of the greatest and most influential popes of the early Middle Ages. Sullivan, Richard. "The Carolingian Age: Reflections on its Place in the History of the Middle Ages." Speculum 64 (1989): 267-306. A survey of scholarship on the Carolingian era, which tells us less about the Carolingians, and more about what we want to see in them. Tellenbach, Gerd. Church, State and Christian Society at the Time of the Investiture Contest. Oxford: B. Blackwell, 1940. Tellenbach explores the "clash of popes and emperors" for supremacy during the eleventh century, paying particular attention to the theoretical underpinnings of their claims to universal authority.
