However, Wickham needs to focus on whats required for a paragraph and what could go into a footnote. The constant adding of extra thoughts and information throughout the book makes comprehension incredibly hard and frustrating.Another problem I have with Wickham is the first chapter. The first chapter misleads readers into believing it is going to set them up for the rest of the book. Where in reality the first chapter is just a foreword by the author and his dislike of modernity ( the quality or condition of being modern). This chapter is tough to navigate, comprehend, and enjoy. Setting up, at least for me, dread to read the rest of his work.I don't want to say I would not suggest Wickham for anyone who wants an overview of the medieval period. As he does bring up a bunch of exciting concepts and events that happened during the medieval period. I would suggest skipping the first chapter entirely. Start at chapter two and don't feel inadequate if there is a need to reread a section. I am currently gaining an MA in Medieval Europe and England and found this tough to understand.Thank you!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Brilliance amid the weeds *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021* The author is brilliant and has a depth of understanding of the age. Unfortunately, it seems as though he wants to punish the reader. Perhaps, he thinks that he has worked so hard to decipher the age that his readers must pay penance. Otherwise, I don’t see how he could create a maze of a sentence such as: “We do not have the remarkable early notarial registers for Pisa that we have for Genoa, its sister city and rival, from the 1150s onwards, which show the complexity of the contracts which ship-owners made by now, and the density of funding of sea commerce engaged in by traditional élite families, stretching again, very visibly, all over the Mediterranean.”He seems to take perverse pleasure in jamming as many ideas as possible in each sentence. As a result, the reader is left holding a disappearing rope of an idea. By the end of a paragraph, I had to return to the beginning just to remind myself of the original thesis.Wickham has a pure historian’s sense. He refuses to bow to the popular or established interpretation. Sadly, I was only able to glean a third of his brilliance due to his writing. ### ⭐⭐ Grating Forward Referencing *by L***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018* This review pertains only to the CD audio version. The book is good and the narrator is excellent. I am giving it low marks for something that an editor or reviewer should have caught. The book is full of "internal references" that are unnecessary and irritating. You're listening to chapter 2, and suddenly the narrator stops and says, "Listen to chapter 7." These references are always forward. Do you honestly think a listener enjoying chapter 2 will stop and try to advance to chapter 7 to "listen," and then try to get back to chapter 2? After a number of these inane statements, I stopped listening. Too bad because these spoiled an informative book read by a first-rate reader. Take these out an re-issue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/134983648-medieval-europe-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/134983648-medieval-europe-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
