The Missionary Life
Missionaries were not only the agents of change, but also some of Europe's first historians. This uniquely wide-ranging account tells the history of the christianisation of Western Europe through investigation of the lives of the missionaries. Unravelling unreliable and partial sources, Ian Wood produces a compelling survey of European evangelisation, and brings a remote age to life.
Christianizing Peoples and Converting Individuals
This selection of papers from the International Medieval Congress held at Leeds University in 1997, reflects the interest shown by those present, in the christianisation of Britain and the interface between Christians, Muslims and Jews.
The Merovingian Kingdoms, 450-751
The centuries immediately following the collapse of Roman rule in what is now France are an extraordinarily tangled time that is frequently dismissed as no more than a chaotic prelude to Charlemagne and the Carolingian Dynasty. Ian Wood's aim is to demonstrate that there was more to Merovingian France than fratricidal kinglets, murderous queens, corrupt bishops and otherworldly monastic saints.
The Modern Origins of the Early Middle Ages
Ian Wood explores how Western Europeans have looked back to the Middle Ages to discover their origins and the origins of their society.
Smith and Wood's Employment Law
Authoritative and accessible, Smith & Wood's Employment Law provides detailed and well-explained coverage on the core areas and key case law. Critique and contextual treatment engages students and helps them to develop a well-rounded and deep understanding of the subject.
Regna and Gentes
This book is the first comprehensive and comparative study of the difficult relationship between ethnic identities and political organisation in the post-Roman and early medieval kingdoms. 16 authors (historians, archaeologists and linguists) deal with ten important kingdoms of this period and with its political and legal context.
Society and Culture in Late Antique Gaul
Late Roman Gaul is often seen either from a classical Roman perspective as an imperial province in decay and under constant threat from barbarian invasion or settlement, or from the medieval one, as the cradle of modern France and Germany. Standard texts and "moments" have emerged and been canonized in the scholarship on the period, be it Gaul aflame in 407 or the much-disputed baptism of Clovis in 496/508. This volume avoids such stereotypes. It brings together state-of-the-art work in archaeology, literary, social, and religious history, philology, philosophy, epigraphy, and numismatics not only to examine under-used and new sources for the period, but also critically to reexamine a few of the old standards. This will provide a fresh view of various more unusual aspects of late Roman Gaul, and also, it is hoped, serve as a model for ways of interpreting the late Roman sources for other areas, times, and contexts.
