On the Middle Ages with Chris Wickham - a podcast by Colin Marshall

Colin Marshall talks to Chris Wickham, Chichele Professor of Medieval
History at Oxford University, Fellow of All Souls College and author of
The Inheritance of Rome: A History of Europe from 400 to 1000,
the latest in Penguin’s sprawling History of Europe series. Wickham
integrates textual and architectual evidence to craft a new,
fascinatingly detailed historical experience of the era beginning at
the decline of the Roman Empire and ending at the rise of European
nations as we know them today. Eschewing both teleology and grand
narratives, Wickham presents the Middle Ages not as a mere stepping
stone to modernity but as a fascinating period in and of itself.
