A review by mookiana
The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe by David M. Perry, Matthew Gabriele

informative medium-paced

4.0

Great overview of the Middle Ages. From the beginning to the end of each chapter, there is a tendency to start with an example and wind around until it's brought full circle. This is occasionally disorienting but ultimately helpful in driving home points. Reading this book impressed on me that, in fact, the Middle Ages are an awfully broad period to be confined to one book.
