    <![CDATA[The concept of an ordered human society, both religious &amp; secular, as an expression of a divinely ordered universe was central to medieval thought. In the West the political and religious community were inextricably bound together, &amp;, because the Church was so intimately involved with the world, any history of it must take into account the development of medieval society. Proferssor Southern's book covers the period from the eighth to the sixteenth century. After sketching the main features of each period, he deals in greater detail with the Papacy, the relations between Rome &amp; Constantinople, the bishops &amp; archbishops, &amp; the various religious orders, providing in all a superb study of this period.]]>

    <![CDATA[R. W. Southern (1912 -2001) is widely regarded as one of the greatest medieval historians. His first book, The Making of the Middle Ages (1953), translated into many languages and never out of print, is recognized as a classic. This volume contains the series of reflections on medieval historical writing that Southern produced during his tenure as President of the Royal Historical Society, supplemented by his occasional pieces on two related subjects: the nature of academic history and appreciations of other medievalists, both his teachers and his contemporaries. Their publication here in book format makes these writings by a master medievalist accessible to the wider audience they deserve.The material is introduced by R. J. Bartlett, himself a prominent medievalist, who sheds light on Southern 's outlook and the importance of his work.]]>

    <![CDATA[Warfare is one of the central themes of medieval history, but until recently its technical details and organisation have not been properly investigated. Professor Verbruggen's masterly work applies rigorous standards to the analyses of the often very obscure surviving evidence, and comes up with conclusions which are very different from those of earlier generations of military historians.<br/>    He begins by analysing the sources for our knowledge of the military history of the period, and assessing their reliability, going on to look at the constituent parts of the medieval army. He then turns to the way in which it was used, the vexed question of medieval tactics, which is explored by analysing accounts of a series of major battles. This leads on to the problems of strategy: whether to seek battle, fight a defensive war, or attempt a war of conquest. Throughout, there is rich detail in support of the argument, drawn from primary sources.<br/>    Professor Verbruggen's study has been acknowledged as the classic text on the subject since it first appeared in Dutch in 1954. This is the first appearance of the full text in English; ithas been revised in detail by the author in the light of recent scholarship. It remains an indispensable text for anyone interested in medieval warfare.<br/><em>J.F. VERBRUGGEN is former Professor of History, University of Congo, and University of Bujumbura (Burundi) </em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Robert Grosseteste was one of the most independent and vigorous Englishmen of the Middle Ages--a medieval Dr. Johnson in his powers of mind and personality.  Of humble birth, he lived for many years in obscurity and emerged only late in life as a national figure, deeply conservative and profoundly critical of the contemporary world.  As a scientist, theologian, and pastoral leader, he was rooted in an English tradition going back beyond the Norman Conquest. This comprehensive study of one of England's great intellects by the late Sir Richard W. Southern of Oxford University  is an important contribution to the history of ideas.]]>

    <![CDATA[In this magisterial study of the life and work of St. Anselm, Sir Richard Southern provides the definitive study of one of the most complex and fascinating philosophical minds in Christian history. St. Anselm brings together all the elements of a man whose intensely concentrated search for God filled all the phases and aspects of his life and work. Nothing in Anselm's thinking was simply ordinary or typical of his age.]]>
