In this 12 hour audiobook, Pruskin takes us from the fall of the Roman Empire to the cusp of the Italian Renaissance.
Each track is a titled section, no more than two to four minutes long, making the material easy to ingest, navigate and review.
You have a ringside seat as the remnants of the Roman Empire emerge from the tangled chaos of the barbarian conquests.
The eastern empire becomes Byzantine, the Arab empires transform culture in large parts of the west.
Europe expands through the crusades, marauding vikings settle down in their permanent dwelling places and feudal society takes definate shape.
Meet the popes, peasants, lords and ladies of the middle ages.
Includes a one hour lecture "Music of The Middle Ages".
