His objectives have something in common with Le Goff, as he seeks to identify with medieval society and culture without the encumbrance of later historical attitudes.\u003cbr\u003e This radical study traces the transformation of ideas in western Europe during more than one thousand years between the fifth and sixteenth centuries. Its central concern is to interpret and understand changing attitudes towards time, space, the human body, human and social relationships, productivity and distribution, travel, modes of thought, attitudes to the past, ageversus youth, war, faith, and social and political order.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations and narrative work together in this book to present medieval culture as one shaped by the spoken word and the visual image. Drawing extensively from awide range of primary source material, the breadth and originality of Kleinschmidt's study will have an important influence on scholarly perception of the middle ages, as a period of continual change and continually changing attitudes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHARALD KLEINSCHMIDT teaches in the College of International Studies at the University of Tsukuba, Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harald Kleinschmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.34w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780851159492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKleinschmidt, Harald:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Professor Harald Kleinschmidt is Professor of the History of International Relations and Dean of the Doctoral Program in the International Political Economy at the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba-shi, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boydell Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40219127513203,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_cad72e30-4e57-49d7-884e-12b26a392f2f.jpg?v=1656596876","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/understanding-the-middle-ages-the-transformation-of-ideas-and-attitudes-in-the-medieval-world-9780851159492","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
