Reviews"Medieval Europe is readable, engaging, and highly informative, but still accessible. It provides the right balance of detailed information within an interpretive framework." --Adrianna Bakos, University of the Fraser Valley "This is the best short textbook out there. It's balanced nicely between chronology and trends; it's well organized and inclusive, especially of gender; and it's written in a no-nonsense colloquial voice." --Lisa Bitel, University of Southern California "Medieval Europe: A Short History is a concise, readable text that is perfect for college students. It provides essential background, including information about peasant and town life, instead of just a recitation of the political highlights." --Kristen Geaman, University of Toledo "Sandy Bardsley's additions and modifications to the text are built on the latest scholarship, and she maintains the friendly tone that previous generations of readers came to appreciate." --Cullen Chandler, Lycoming College, "Medieval Europe is readable, engaging, and highly informative, but still accessible.
