Inventing the Middle Ages. The Lives, Works, and Ideas of the Great Medievalists of the Twentieth Century - Norman F. Cantor

In this ground-breaking work, Norman Cantor explains how our current notion of the Middle Ages-with its vivid images of wars, tournaments, plagues, saints and kings, knights and ladies-was born in the twentieth century. The medieval world was not simply excavated through systematic research. It had to be conceptually created: It had to be invented, and this is the story of that invention.
