Readings In Medieval History Fifth Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Readings in Medieval and Modern History This volume is intended to provide sufficient supplementary read ing, chiefly of a biographical or narrative character, for a high - school course in medieval and modern history. The arrangement Of the volume is the same as that Of my earlier Readings in Ancient History. Each chapter deals with a single epoch or personality and presents the work Of a single author. The passages quoted are long enough to make a definite impression on the reader, thus avoiding the scrappy effect necessarily produced by a set of short, unrelated extracts. Since many Of the selections are good literature as well as good history, I hope that students will be tempted to turn to the original sources from which excerpts have been taken, and to read in them at length for their own enjoyment.
