The Cambridge Medieval History Series consists of 8 volumes, with volume 1 first published in 1911. Planned by one of the most renowned Byzantinists and Medievalists of the day, John B. Bury, it became the de facto standard by which all comprehensive period histories would be measured. Its impact on the field of medieval scholarship is every bit as great as Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". Volume One - The Christian Roman Empire and the Foundation of the Teutonic Kingdoms begins with the accession of Constantine to the Imperium and ends roughly with reign of Justinian in the East. It covers the migration of Germanic tribes into Roman territories. Significant attention is given the ecumenical church councils of the 4th Century, with particular emphasis on the Arian controversies. Volume Two - The Rise of the Saracens and the Foundation of the Western Empire covers the time period from roughly 500 CE to 814 CE. Beginning with Justinian, it also looks at the Frankish Merovingian dynasty, the Lombard Kingdom in Italy, the Restoration of the Imperium in Italy, and ends with the transition of power from the Merovingians to the Carolingians through Charlemagne's reign. Chapters covering England and English institution and the conversion of the Celts. Finally, attention is given to the birth and spread of Islam and the growth of the Islamic Caliphate. Volume Three - Germany and the Western Empire covers the period from roughly 814 CE through the end of the first millennium. Beginning with the reign of Louis the Pious, it traces the decline of the Carolingian Empire and the foundation of the Capetian Dynasty. Attention is paid to the Holy Roman Empire in Germany through Henry III. The impact of the Norse Vikings on the political landscape is examined as is the development of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England through the death of Edward the Confessor. Throughout the volume development of feudalism as a primary labor, land-owning, and social way of life is highlighted. Finally, the continued growth of the Western Caliphate is looked at. Volume Four - The Eastern Roman Empire focuses primarily on the Byzantine East from roughly 700 CE through the end of the Empire in 1483. The different dynasties (Isaurian, Phrygian, and Macedonian) receive their own chapters, and in-depth attention is paid to the struggle with the emerging Islamic Caliphate. The religious and political relationship with the West is considered and significant attention is paid to the Comneni and Fourth Crusade. Volume Five - The Contest of Empire and Papacy is concerned primarily with the century and a half from 1050 CE to 1200 CE. It looks at the surging political power of the Church and the corresponding growth of nations of Western Europe. The Holy Roman Empire and the Norman Invasion of England, the establishment of the Plantagenet Dynasty in Norman Britain, and the emergence of Monasticism and Scholasticism in the period receive attention. Volumes 6-8 were published after 1923 and are therefore not in the public domain. Plantagenet Publishing will not be able to make them available in this format.

Memories of a Former Sweet Southern Woman: A Collection of Works by J.B. Palmer

Memories of a Former Sweet Southern Woman: A Collection of Works by J.B. Palmer

Let yourself be swept away into this bucolic narrative, with stories woven by life, tempered by family, and proofed by hindsight. This is a collection of articles, written by columnist J.B. Palmer, carefully selected and placed to tell the story of her life. Hers was not a life of glamour, not a life of serendipity, but one most of us would identify with. Through the stories she tells us, we come to understand her modest upbringings in the 1950's, the sins of southern repression, the sadness of innocence lost, the defeat of a mid-life divorce, the glory of rebirth, and how family, and a sense of humor, binds us to happiness throughout.

From the Mind and Imagination of J.B. Frost: A Poet's Progression

From the Mind and Imagination of J.B. Frost: A Poet's Progression

J. B. Frost

From as far back as I can remember, writing has been therapy and an escape. I seek to chronicle life in as many ways as I experience it, as well as providing an avenue that speaks to issue and situations that others face, as well as tossing in a little bit of fiction. Poetry's had a few rough centuries since the days of Shakespeare but seems to be creeping its way back to life in many Universities. In this latest work, I offer an additional 121 poems on life, love, heartache, blessings, children, death, religion, faith, and even politics. I'm certainly not up there with the giants of poetry, but I offer my own humble prospects, to history's collection of some of the words we humans use to record and relay information. I hope you enjoy reading this latest edition.

Traces of J.B. Jackson

Traces of J.B. Jackson

Helen L. Horowitz

University of Virginia Press

J. B. Jackson transformed forever how Americans understand their landscape, a concept he defined as land shaped by human presence. In the first major biography of the greatest pioneer in landscape studies, Helen Horowitz shares with us a man who focused on what he regarded as the essential American landscape, the everyday places of the countryside and city, exploring them as texts that reveal important truths about society and culture, present and past. In Jackson’s words, landscape is "history made visible."After a varied life of traveling, writing, sketching, ranch labor, and significant service in army intelligence in World War II, Jackson moved to New Mexico and single-handedly created the magazine Landscape. As it grew under his direction throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Landscape attracted a wide range of Contributors. Jackson became a man in demand as a lecturer and, beginning in the late 1960s, he established the field of landscape studies at Berkeley, Harvard, and elsewhere, mentoring many who later became important architects, planners, and scholars. Horowitz brings this singular person to life, revealing how Jackson changed our perception of the landscape and, through friendship as well as his writings, profoundly influenced the lives of many, including her own.
