The Uses of the Past in the Early Middle Ages
Yitzhak Hen
This book investigates how people in the early middle ages used the past: to legitimate the present, to understand current events, and as a source of identity. Each essay examines the mechanisms by which ideas about the past were - sometimes - subtly reshaped for present purposes.
