This course is about the creation of western civilization from the fusing of the fragments of the classical world with Christianity and the culture of the dominant Germanic world. While bearing the political context in mind, our focus will be on the social and thought world of these first Europeans: their religious ideas, military ethos, assumptions about money and property, family structure and social groupings. Among the major themes will be the question of nationalities, the tenacity of custom, a nd the special power inherent in the combination of religion and economics in shaping the medieval world.
