<strong>PAPER</strong> <strong>15</strong>: <strong>EUROPEAN</strong> <strong>HISTORY</strong> <strong>1200</strong>-<strong>15</strong>20<br />
The late medieval and Renaissance period saw the emergence of the territorial state<br />
and powerful attempts by rulers to concentrate authority in their own hands in the face of<br />
challenges from popes, parliaments, restive barons and popular uprisings. The papacy began<br />
the period asserting its authority in emphatic terms, only to find that exile in Avignon and the<br />
Great Schism, as well as changing attitudes to the clergy, left it by the end of the period<br />
facing its most serious challenge of all, that of the German reformers. Christian rulers<br />
continued to emphasise their duty to defend the faith against Islam, but a series of ineffective<br />
crusades was soon followed by the arrival on European soil of a menace that proved all but<br />
irresistible: the Ottoman Turks. Christian relations with another religion, Judaism, were<br />
marked by increasing persecution. It was a period of great cultural ferment, not merely in<br />
Italy, which became the home of a remarkable revival of classical art and letters, but also at<br />
princely courts in northern Europe, where magnificent display and the cult of chivalry<br />
reached new levels of extravagance. Yet this was also a period of dramatic social and<br />
economic change, in which the Black Death wiped out a third or more of the population of<br />
western Europe, turning topsy turvy the social structure of town and country as land values<br />
fell, labour became expensive, and rebellions broke out in Italian, Flemish and French towns.<br />
The paper is intended to cover all facets of European history in the period, including<br />
social, cultural, intellectual and institutional, as well as economic, political and ecclesiastical<br />
history. The emphasis will be on Western and Southern Europe, although Eastern Europe<br />
will not be neglected. Some attention will be paid to European relations with other parts of<br />
the world. The book list is designed to suggest suitable topics for supervision but it by no<br />
means excludes other possibilities. The paper is treated in a sufficiently comprehensive way<br />
to allow individual undergraduates to concentrate on specific themes within the period, and<br />
there are no compulsory questions, although undergraduates are encouraged to tackle a broad<br />
range of topics and should read more widely than required for supervisions, to place specific<br />
knowledge in a wider context. Because there are papers in the <strong>Tripos</strong> on British history and<br />
Political Thought, no questions will be set on these subjects; but lecturers may allude to them<br />
in passing, and undergraduates should also feel free to do so in essays and examinations,<br />
provided they do not allow them to dominate their answers.<br />
These lists are in no sense comprehensive, and are subject to constant revision;<br />
supervisors will wish to add and subtract items, and those who use the lists, as pupils or<br />
teachers, are strongly encouraged to send their comments, corrections and further suggestions<br />
to Professor David Abulafia at Caius or Dr Nora Berend at St Catharine’s. A much fuller<br />
bibliography can be found in B. Guénée’s States and Rulers in later medieval Europe, though<br />
with a different emphasis; the volumes of the New Cambridge Medieval History also have<br />
up-to-date bibliographies, some of them very lengthy.<br />
If items on this list cannot readily be found in the Faculty, college or university<br />
libraries, do feel free to recommend them to your college library for purchase.<br />
2
The aim here has been to produce a reading list that meets the practical needs of<br />
undergraduates aiming (a) to make an informed selection of viable topics with the help of<br />
their supervisor; (b) to enable them to achieve a good understanding of a mainstream topic<br />
within a week of reading. Dates of publication have not generally been provided, except in<br />
the case of journal articles: an old book is not necessarily a useless one; a new book is not<br />
necessarily the last word. However, it is hoped in the longer term to add this information too.<br />
Within each list, an attempt has been made at thematic organisation: items are set out in an<br />
order in which they might be read, though obviously the exact order will depend on the topic<br />
of the essay which is being prepared and on the availability of books.<br />
The lists reflect the imbalance that exists between literature on some regions and<br />
topics and others; thus the Italian Renaissance has to be approached using a tiny selection of<br />
the available literature, while Germany in the fourteenth and fifteenth century has received<br />
much less attention from writers in English. It is with works in English that this list is<br />
primarily concerned [note that a few collections of articles will contain material in other<br />
European languages as well as English]. It is not intended to imply that all items are of<br />
similar use or worth; supervisors will give guidance here. In particular, those able to read<br />
other languages with ease should ask about additional reading in French, German, Italian,<br />
Spanish, etc., and some works in French have been included here.<br />
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<br />
This and earlier versions of this booklist had the advantage of suggestions by Dr E.M.C. van<br />
Houts, Dr P. Linehan, Dr C. Shaw, Dr N. Berend and others. I have also drawn on booklists<br />
used at other universities, particularly London (King’s) and Warwick.<br />
NOTE: [CS] indicates collections of studies by one or more authors.<br />
* indicates valuable introductory works. ** indicates that they are believed to be readily<br />
available in paperback, and that they would form the core of a useful working collection<br />
for an undergraduate keen to build up her/his own library. Some of the ** books are<br />
there because they are especially readable, others because they are valuable textbooks.<br />
The selection is a personal one.<br />

(d) The New Cambridge Medieval History [NCMH]<br />
Note that the original green covered Cambridge Medieval History is now very dated, but<br />
a new edition has now appeared. (Burgundy covers). These are in the Seeley Library.<br />
Volume 5 (thirteenth century, ed. D. Abulafia, 1999), vol 6 (fourteenth century, ed. M.<br />
Jones, 2000), vol 7 (the fifteenth century, ed. C. Allmand, 1998), have now appeared.<br />
Each volume contains valuable chapters on many or all of the themes in this bibliography.<br />
A prospectus is available from Cambridge University Press, 1 Trinity Street. Details of<br />
individual chapters have not been given here. All volumes contain general chapters on<br />
major themes as well as chapters on individual regions, kingdoms etc.<br />
4
(e) The Oxford short histories [of Europe, Italy, France]. These are all in paperback and<br />
offer useful introductions to key themes. The late medieval European volume (ed. M.<br />
Vale) has yet to appear, but the central medieval volume (ed. D. Power) provides valuable<br />
background. For Italy see Italy in the central Middle Ages, ed. D. Abulafia, and Italy in<br />
the age of the Renaissance ed. J. Najemy.<br />
Books are listed in a very rough order in which they might be read (depending,<br />
naturally, on your essay topic) – from the more general to the more particular.<br />
They are deliberately not listed in alphabetical order or order of the date of<br />
publication.<br />
