A spirited and thought-provoking history of the vast changes that transformed Europe during the 1,000-year span of the Middle Ages
The millennium between the breakup of the western Roman Empire and the Reformation was a long and hugely transformative period—one not easily chronicled within the scope of a few hundred pages. Yet distinguished historian Chris Wickham has taken up the challenge in this landmark book, and he succeeds in producing the most riveting account of medieval Europe in a generation.
Tracking the entire sweep of the Middle Ages across Europe, Wickham focuses on important changes century by century, including such pivotal crises and moments as the fall of the western Roman Empire, Charlemagne’s reforms, the feudal revolution, the challenge of heresy, the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, the rebuilding of late medieval states, and the appalling devastation of the Black Death. He provides illuminating vignettes that underscore how shifting social, economic, and political circumstances affected individual lives and international events. Wickham offers both a new conception of Europe’s medieval period and a provocative revision of exactly how and why the Middle Ages matter.

Les "barbares" en cause pouvaient être largement romanisés mais ils ont "cassé" des mécanismes essentiels, à commencer par un Etat central financé par la fiscalité.Wickham ambitionne une présentation historiographique large du Moyen-Age, incluant les "marges", et non focalisée sur les espaces francs, anglais et italiens. Il y réussit sans doute pour les "marges" slaves, beaucoup moins pour l'Ecosse, l'irlande ou la Scandinavie. Deuxième sujet ouvert à discussion : l'unité européenne y est quelque peu "downplayed", la Chrétienté occidentale ayant selon l'auteur une conception très lâche, au mieux, de son unité, au moins avant le XI° siècle.A titre personnel, donc subjectif, j'ai eu parfois une impression de relâchement conceptuel dans ce livre (ou du moins de superficialité rapide), rapporté à l'exceptionnelle précision analytique qui caractérise la plupart des oeuvres de ce grand médiéviste (insuffisamment traduit en français). Exemple, le traitement de la conquête de la Sicile par les Normands : "it is indeed hard to avoid the impression that most of the time they were simply having fun : they had a reputation for oppression and imaginative brutality which they strove to live up to ...and doing it in the sun of southern Italy was also probably more fun than doing it in Hauteville, Normandy..." (page 118). Une écriture historiographique qui fait place à l'humour est certainement plus plaisante à lire qu'un narratif terne et ennuyeux, mais on se sent en droit de demander un peu plus de précision analytique
