A History of the University in Europe
A History of the University in Europe
$202.00
USDThis is the first of four volumes that will comprise A History of the University in Europe, covering the development of the university in Europe (East and West) from its origins to the present day. No other up-to-date, comprehensive history of this type exists: its originality lies in focusing on a number of major themes viewed from a European perspective, and in its interdisciplinary, collaborative and transnational character.
Volume I, covering the Middle Ages, places the medieval European universities in their social and political context. After explaining the number and types of universities from their origins in the twelfth century to around 1500, it examines the inner workings as an institution and paints a general picture of medieval student life.
- The first volume of a major overview of the role of European universities in society
- The first volume published for over a century on the medieval University as a whole
- Inter-disciplinary, collaborative and trans-national
