Although Taylor was an historian, indeed a former head of the AHA, his two volume "History of Thought and Emotion in the Middle Ages" is an intellectual and cultural history with little attention paid to political events. As such it was very helpful for me in filling in the gaps left by the church history course sequence taken while in seminary. I still have much to learn about politics during the period.

This two volume set was picked up while helping to organize the foundation of the first public library in Bridgman, Michigan.
