One of those books which I really wish I'd had access to as an upper level undergrad or a beginning Master's student, Understanding Medieval Primary Sources provides a brief introduction to some of the main kinds of sources, how historians have used/can use them, and what their advantages and pitfalls are. Some of the essays recount the range of sources available to a scholar writing on a particular topic, like Philip Slavin's chapter on sources for English manorial and rural history; others, like Katherine French's on women's history, are broader and engage with issues of methodology and process. While inevitably in a book of this size, some important sources are omitted (we hear about sermons as primary sources, for instance, but nothing about hagiographies or liturgies), the endnotes and further reading lists are valuable and will no doubt be thoroughly mined by people who are beginning to read in the field of medieval studies.

Medieval society created many kinds of records and written material which differ considerably, giving us such sources as last wills, sermons, manorial accounts, or royal biographies. Primary sources are an exciting way for students to engage with the past and draw their own ideas about life in the medieval period. Understanding Medieval Primary Sources is a collection of essays that will introduce students to the key primary sources that are essential to studying medieval Europe. The sources are divided into two categories: the first part treats some of the many generic sources that have been preserved, such as wills, letters, royal and secular narratives and sermons. Chapter by chapter each expert author illustrates how they can be used to reveal details about medieval history. The second part focuses on areas of historical research that can only be fully discovered by using a combination of primary sources, covering fields such as maritime history, urban history, women's history and medical history. Understanding Medieval Primary Sources will be an invaluable resource for any student embarking on medieval historical research. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
