The Early Middle Ages (Volume VII) A History of All Nations

By John Henry Wright and Julius Von Pelugk-Harttung

Between the fall of Rome and the first crusading age lies the hinge of Europe. Empires collapse new worlds form. In The Early Middle Ages (Volume VII) of the History of All Nations series, Julius Von Pelugk-Harttung traces the 5th to 10th century with the sweep of a classic world history and the control of an academic history survey, clarifying how the ancient order fractured and what replaced it. Moving across early Middle Ages Europe, this medieval history volume follows the pressures of barbarian migrations Europe, the reshaping of frontiers, and the slow rise of feudalism and monarchy. It is a medieval history reference built from evidence and synthesis: peoples on the move, churches and kings negotiating power, and the everyday structures that turned crisis into continuity. Read it straight through for narrative momentum, or dip in as a dependable university course reading when you need context fast. First published for a readership that wanted a coherent world history, Pelugk-Harttung's account remains a valuable bridge between specialist scholarship and the broader tradition later echoed in the Cambridge Medieval History. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For casual history lovers it offers clear orientation in a complex era; for classic-library builders it adds an authoritative, period voice to the shelf, and complements medieval surveys on your list, from general readers to seminar students.
