Beskrivning
This companion introduces the connections between early medieval societies that have previously been studied in isolation. By bringing together nineteen experts on different regions across the globe, from Oceania to Europe and beyond, it transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries and synthesizes parallel historiographical narratives. The period 600-900 CE witnessed important historical developments, such as the establishment of a Southeast Asian thalassocracy by the Shailendra dynasty and the expansion of the Frankish polity under Charlemagne on the far ends of Eurasia and the consolidation of the Abbasid and Tang empires in between. A Companion to the Global Early Middle Ages integrates these contemporaneous processes and presents new insights into a neglected phase of world history.

Recensioner i media

The present volume, therefore, is exceptionally welcome in that it brings together research by scholars with specialities in a verywide range of geo-political contexts and academic traditions. The decision by Erik Hermans, the editor of this volume, to limit itsscope to the relatively brief period of c. 600 AD to c. 900 AD, has also proven quite fortuitous in that many of the essays provideoverlapping coverage of the same questions and phenomena, but from different geo-political perspectives.[...]Overall, this is an exceptionally valuable volume, which will be of use to scholars across a wide sweep of fields. Many of the individual essays also will provide an easily accessible entrée to the political histories of non-western societies to graduate and even undergraduate students.
