The Middle Ages were for many years generally viewed as a period when
faith and order supported a rigid society. By painstaking archival
research, historians such as Joseph R. Strayer and the contributors to
this volume have gradually replaced this view with a regard for the
period as a time of great intellectual diversity. These essays,
divided into five groups, probe the themes of order and innovation as
they appear in medieval government; finance; trade and urban life;
social arrangements; and aspects of the personality and goals of the
individual. The contributors focus on England, France, and the
Mediterranean from about the eleventh to about the sixteenth century.
