INVENTING THE MIDDLE AGES The Lives, Works, and Ideas of the Great Medievalists of the Twentieth Century In this ground-breaking work, Norman Cantor explains how our current notion of the Middle Ages-with its vivid images of wars, tournaments, plagues, saints and kings, knights and ladies-was born in the twentieth century. The medieval world was not simply excavated through systematic research. It had to be conceptually created: It had to be invented, and this is the story of that invention. Norman Cantor focuses on the lives and works of twenty of the great medievalists of this century, demonstrating how the events of their lives, and their spiritual and emotional outlooks, influenced their interpretations of the Middle Ages. Cantor makes their scholarship an intensely personal and passionate exercise, full of color and controversy, displaying the strong personalities and creative minds that brought new insights about the past. A revolution in academic method, this book is a breakthrough to a new way of teaching the humanities and historiography, to be enjoyed by student and general public alike. It takes an immense body of learning and transmits it so that readers come away fully informed of the essentials of the subject, perceiving the interconnection of medieval civilization with the culture of the twentieth century and having had a good time while doing it! This is a riveting, entertaining, humorous, and learned read, compulsory for anyone concerned about the past and future of Western civilization.
尖酸刻薄,各種八卦。
評分此書作者乃中古史界著名怪人。
評分雖然業內評價甚低,但真心是一本可讀性極強的書,大半夜的本打算匆匆瀏覽,最後竟然逐字地讀完瞭~~
評分最早讀這本書是在利物浦的時候,為瞭寫哈斯金斯又看瞭一章,之後不禁又重新看瞭一遍。雖然很多八卦在其中,但我覺得cantor本人對於中世紀的思索和觀察,實在也值得注意。他其實也很像geistesgeschichte的思路,他早年的談格裏高利七世的世界革命的文章為我博士論文第一章提供瞭一個非常大的啓發(為瞭這一章,和我年鑒第五代的導師吵瞭好久,我贏瞭)。Cantor是嘴巴“狠毒”,但他的思想傾嚮其實真得很符閤我的口味。比如,熱愛southern,disrespect the Annales, 即使勒高夫名義上是我“師爺爺”(勒高夫我還覺得挺好的,勒華拉杜裏完全讀不下去)。
