After the Roman Empire: Early Medieval Europe in the Time of Gregory of Tours - AHPG889
This unit examines western Europe in the sixth century, after the fragmentation of the Roman empire, focusing on Gaul/early France in the 'Frankish' or 'Merovingian' period. The topic is approached through close study of Gregory of Tours' "Histories," which was the first major post-imperial Latin historical work and immensely significant in shaping European historical and ideological traditions through to the present. Literary analysis is explored as a methodology for the study of historical sources. Other documentary, literary, and archaeological materials will also be examined. The unit addresses historical continuities and developments between the Late Antique Mediterranean world and medieval Europe.
