In this ground-breaking work, Norman Cantor clarifies how our current idea of the center Ages-with its vivid images of wars, competitions, plagues, saints and kings, knights and ladies-was given birth to in the 20th hundred years. The middle ages world was not simply excavated through systematic research. It needed to be conceptually created: it needed to be invented, which is the story of that invention.Cantor focuses on the lives and works of twenty of the great medievalists of the century, demonstrating how the events of the lives, and their religious and psychological outlooks, influenced their interpretations of the center Ages. He makes their scholarship an intensely personal and keen exercise, filled with color and controversy, showing the strong personalities and creative intellects that helped bring new insights about the past.
