Medieval Germany, 1056-1273
Author: Alfred Haverkamp
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780198221319
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This is a completely revised and updated edition of a major history of an important period in German and European history, starting with the accession of Henry IV to the German throne in 1056, taking in the reign of the energetic and successful Frederick Barbarossa (1152-90), and culminating with the election of Rudolf Habsburg who reimposed order following the fall of the Hohenstaufens. The German empire stretched from Rome to Pomerania, and from Hainaut to Silesia; its history is of major significance for the politics of Europe, for the expansion of Latin Christendom, and for the fortunes of the Papacy. Every aspect of its internal life is covered: economic growth and population increase, education, trade and industry, the church and religious life. Political development and accompanying social changes are examined and placed in their European context. This book provides a valuable and up-to-date guide to the complex and generally unfamiliar history of medieval Germany. Readership: Students and scholars of medieval German and European history.

Book Description
"This book describes the roots of a set of ideals that effected a radical transformation of eleventh-century European society that led to the confrontation between church and monarchy known as the investiture struggle or Gregorian reform.

The Origins of Modern Germany
Author: Geoffrey Barraclough

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
"No one is likely to underrate the importance for the rest of Europe--and, indeed, for world history--of the German reaction, beginning in the days of Bismarck, to the crisis of modern industrial capitalism," writes Professor Barraclough, "but the peculiar character of that reaction is only comprehensible in the light of Germany's past. Factors deeply rooted in German history . . . constituted an iron framework, a mold within which were cast all German efforts, from 1870 to 1939, to cope with the problems of modern capitalist society."
