In this history of the 'dark age' following the fall of Rome, Wickham eschews conventional narratives about nationalism and modernity in favour of a synthesis of historical and archaeological approaches and an examination of the varied cultures of a world shaped by Rome and encompassing the Byzantine, Carolingian and Ottonian empires. He demonstrates that, far from being an insignificant 'middle' period, this age was a crucible of culture and political thought and played a critical role in the formulation of European identity.
