Summary | "Europe in the Middle Ages" by Ierne L. Plunket is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work offers a concise yet comprehensive overview of Medieval European history, focusing on key figures, events, and societal changes that shaped the period. The author endeavors not only to present factual information but also to evoke the essence of the era, bringing to life the principal heroes, villains, their beliefs, and the overarching societal trends. The opening of the book sets the historical context by reflecting on the greatness of Rome at its zenith, describing its expansive empire constructed through military might and the rich tapestry of cultures and peoples under its rule. Plunket emphasizes the Roman identity, detailing the significance of Roman citizenship and the engineered magnificence of its infrastructure, such as trade routes and monumental architecture. The narrative hints at the vulnerabilities within the empire and the contrasting dynamics between luxurious Roman life and the emerging tensions with barbarian tribes, thereby laying the groundwork for subsequent discussions on the decline of Rome and the transformations in Europe during the Middle Ages.
