The End of the Middle Ages: Essays and Questions in History

"The End of the Middle Ages: Essays and Questions in History" by A. Mary F. Robinson explores the changing times at the close of the medieval period, using essays to look at key people, happenings, and changes that pushed society toward more modern times. Dedicated to Mr. Symonds for his influence on historical study, the book explores how medieval ways mixed with newer ideas, and how the past still affects us. It looks at the importance of medieval groups and social structures, showing how their religious beliefs, social actions, and sometimes rebellious ideas played out in the religious world. The exploration raises the question of whether the switch from the Middle Ages was a clean break or if its effects are still around today.
