Negative Positive
Title: Horrible
Review: This is an out of date and dreadful book keeping alive every imaginable stereotype and caricature of the Middle Ages. The 19th century was also "a world lit only by fire," what does that tell us? Read this book if you want to feel good about yourself and learn nothing. If you want an enjoyable, but infinitely more reliable, broad overview of the Middle Ages read The Year 1000, anything by Jacques LeGoff, or Cahill, Mystery of the Middle Ages in addition to many others. Consider, Russell, Inventing the Flat Earth, if you want to understand how a book like this, filled with misinformation, remains popular.
