THE CIVILIZATION OF THE MIDDLE AGES

Booklist called this book the “standard one-volume history” of the period and said, “No better explanation of medievalism is available to the general reader.” Cantor, Professor of History and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at New York University, writes with wonderful fluidity; his lucid prose moves from topic to topic with effortless grace. Reader Frederick Davidson contributes a British enunciation to the text but adds little enthusiasm. Listen to this to learn something, not for the production.
