Description
The book presents a completely unique testimony from four outstanding historians, experts on the medieval period – medievalists. In conversations with their students and colleagues, they reminisce about the years of their lives, youth, childhood, and adolescence; their studies and entire academic careers; what shaped and formed them as scholars; what they achieved and did not achieve, and also – not just incidentally – they express their views on the role that the study of history, and especially medieval history, should play in understanding the present. How is it that we can never be sure about history? All four, along with their students and colleagues, attempt to answer the question of what studying the medieval period actually means for our shared complex present.
