Medieval Rome analyses the history of the city of Rome between 900 and
1150, a period of major change in the city. This volume doesn't merely
seek to tell the story of the city from the traditional Church
standpoint; instead, it engages in studies of the city's processions,
material culture, legal transformations, and sense of the past,
seeking to unravel the complexities of Roman cultural identity,
including its urban economy, social history as seen across the
different strata of society, and the articulation between the city's
regions. This new approach serves to underpin a major reinterpretation
of Rome's political history in the era of the 'reform papacy', one of
the greatest crises in Rome's history, which had a resonance across
the entire continent. Medieval Rome is the most systematic analysis
ever made of two and a half centuries of Rome's history, one which saw
centuries of stability undermined by external crisis and the long
period of reconstruction which followed.
