The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country.
In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments.
Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Descripción del producto

Críticas

a tremendous achievement, demonstrating mastery over half a dozen fields of scholarship. ― David Abulafia, THES

Wickham's work is groundbreaking ... Some of his conclusions may and should be debated, but they rest on an array of evidence and on a series of complex atguments that further discussions should not ignore. ― Walter Pohl, Speculum

    This book presents maybe a grainy but definite image of western societies in early middle age. In dearth of good books on the subject, it offers credible views on this historical time. The vast details this book forces to check perhaps are a bit tiresome to keep up. But probably they are needed to place the book on sure ground. A good book to get a reliable picture of early middle age.

    This is a monumental review of the economic and social histories of the former provinces of the Roman Empire between the penetration of the empire by the barbarians and the imperial coronation of Charlemagne. Along with the Origins of the European Economy, this book is likely to be the standard social and economic survey of the dark ages for years to come. The author surveys each of the major territorial regions of the fomer Roman Empire region-by-region, and slowly develops his theses. These include: (1) a "soft-fall" view of the disintegration of the Western Empire, concluding that many of its structures were in place well into the seventh century and gradually were melded into the less sophisticated successor states of Western Europe; (2) a taxation-driven notion of the state, concluding that the major factor distinguishing Rome and Roman power from that of successor states is that Rome had an elaborate and relatively efficient tax system, and that the successor states did not; (3) a regionalist approach to conclusions, finding that things changed in different degrees in different ways throughout the territories of the Roman Empire -- slowly and relatively little in the East, massively in Britain, in odd ways in Spain and Gaul; (4) a picture of transformation from peasant-based society to feudal society, occurring rather later than many historians would allow; (5) a strong de-emphasis on barbarian wars and conquests as an explanation for these transformations; and (5) a peasant's eye view of the transformation from Roman Empire to the Middle Ages.

    It is in the latter that the only real problem with the book arises. The author is so pro-peasant in his view that he takes what could be called a "Xena" view of medieval class struggles. In Xena (and Conan, and Red Sonya, and 10,000 B.C., to name but a few sword-and-sorcery potboilers) there is a familiar scene where the peaceful peasants are going about their village business, talking to each other and carrying out their daily tasks, while a band of heavily-armed thugs is approaching the village on horseback, ready to destroy it with fire and sword. In this author's world, heavily-financed aristocrats are about to encroach on an idylic and egalitarian peasant world, forcing the formerly free peasantry to pay rent, work harder, and have more children. In what is perhaps his most radical claim, the author suggests that the serious decline in population from the late empire to about 700 A.D. was due, not to war, pestilence, famine and occupation but -- family planning! He admits that he cannot prove this, but it is clearly an idea which attracts him. I am dubious -- it is difficult to think of any other society between the birth of agriculture and the industrial revolution where the bulk of the population did not breed to its Malthusian limit, and the claim that early medieval Europe was an exception would require a good deal of proof.

    That said, this is a wonderful book. Even its bias supplies a point of view which has been the subject of all-too-little factual analysis in the past. And by focusing on social relations above all, the author presents a very different view of the dark ages than that usually presented in our histories. Far from being a time of barbarism and decay, the early Middle Ages (the author balks at the term "dark ages") were a period of relative prosperity, equality, and good relations compared to what was to come.

    Reseñado en Estados Unidos el 29 de octubre de 2021

    The history of the Early Middle Ages describes a fascinating time of hardship, novelty and possibility. But it was called a "Dark Age" for a reason. We have the usual stuff of history: narratives of kings and bishops and an occasional queen. About economics and society we have mostly guessed, or made things up. These guesses have frequently supported national origin stories of dubious historicity.
    Wickham's tome does much to address this. He looks at the entire Mediterranean basin, with heavy side trips to Denmark and the British Isles. He uses scattered data from archaeology, charters, and side-remarks in tales to build an analysis of how things went for aristocrats, peasants, trade and cities in the Early Middle Ages.
    This is a scholarly work. If it irritates you to look up "euergetism" then read something else. If you want stirring tales of warrior deeds, and don't care for the detective work needed to figure out if peasants were paying rents in kind or in cash, go elsewhere. But if you are curious to know how kingdoms got paid for, and don't mind careful, lengthy, scholarly prose, this book is great.
    I struggled a bit with Wickham's use of Marxist historical models. Tying one's work to a failed 19th century philosophy seems unwise. But this far back in history there is little harm done, and if you read carefully, Wickham takes liberties with traditional Marxist models to make them fit data. Marxist materialism means that Wickham ignores important topics like religion, women's studies, intellectual history and ethnicity, but in a book pushing 1000 pages he can't cover everything.
    Recommended, but not for the young or the casual.

    Perhaps a little too anxious to lighten the impact of the dark ages after the fall of Rome, but a breadth of scholarship that will be hard to match in the future.
