The Uses of the Past in the Early Middle Ages by Yitzhak Hen

The Uses of the Past in the Early Middle Ages by Yitzhak Hen
English | June 26, 2000 | ISBN: 0521630010, 0521639980 | 295 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

This volume investigates the ways in which people in the early Middle Ages used the past: to legitimate the present, to understand current events, and as a source of identity. Each essay examines the mechanisms by which ideas about the past were subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) reshaped for present purposes.
