Inventing the Middle Ages The Lives, Works, and Ideas of the Great Medievalists of the Twentieth Century

"In this masterful portrayal of the lives and work of the major twentieth-century medievalists, current visions of the Middle Ages emerge from a melange of methods and motivations in which painstaking scholarship and brilliant insights are mixed liberally with personal quirkiness, ego collisions, xenophobia, quests for happier worlds....Cantor does for historians what James Watson's 'Double Helix' did for scientists- brings them alive in all their human complexity."Cantor, Norman F. is the author of 'Inventing the Middle Ages The Lives, Works, and Ideas of the Great Medievalists of the Twentieth Century', published 1993 under ISBN 9780688123024 and ISBN 0688123023.
