1.How the Irish Saved Civilization (Hinges of History)How the Irish Saved Civilization (Hinges of History)
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I listened to this audiobook on a four day road trip, and I had a wonderful experience with the substance of author Cahill's tales which in my mind substantiate the title's claims... that the Irish did indeed save civilization. Such as civilization is. You probably won't find a college course on... more info

"Medieval Europe - A Short History" by Charles Warren Hollister, © 1990, 1982, 1978, 1974, 1968, 1964.
This book is an amazing little textbook. I was pleased to read the explanation of the growth and development of modern European nations. The most surprising part is the growth of... more info

3.Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $11.81

Customer Review:
I had already bought Heaney's "A New Verse Translation" before I needed to buy this edition for a university class. That said, if you're only looking for a translation of the poem with no frills, buy the "New Verse Translation" because it's got the text in parallel with the original Anglo-Saxon. But... more info

4.The History of the Kings of Britain (Penguin Classics)The History of the Kings of Britain (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
With details of troop deployments and excerpts from speeches kings deliver to their men before battle, it becomes obvious it is unlikely that the details are historically accurate. Little time is spent discussing personal relationships; most of the stories revolve around battle. The book is easy... more info

The book was in great condition, it was a older version then we used in class, but it stil works. It also arrived a little later then I was hoping for.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $8.76

Customer Review:
The commentary for each selection is informative and clear, and the translations are lucid and lively reading. A complete version of Beowulf is here along with the Anglo-Saxon Elegies and bits of Venerable Bede, Pope Gregory, a story of Caedmon's conversion, and other hallowed texts. I wish this... more info

8.The Book of Margery Kempe (Norton Critical Editions)The Book of Margery Kempe (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.81

Customer Review:
The reason why this book is so inspirational is because Margery is very honest throughout about how difficult she finds her spiritual path and her commitment to God, combining this with marriage, children and the persecution and ridicule she faces on her pilgrimages. It is a very rewarding read... more info

9.The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature (Canto)The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature (Canto)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $17.09

Customer Review:
It is difficult to praise "The Discarded Image" too highly. It can be read with profit many times. Other reviewers have told you why.
That said, I would like to say something to those who have read and enjoyed the Space Trilogy, especially "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra." In writing... more info

10.A Medieval Life: Cecilia Penifader of Brigstock, c. 1297-1344A Medieval Life: Cecilia Penifader of Brigstock, c. 1297-1344
from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Price: $15.97

Customer Review:
Admittedly I wasn't reading this book for pleasure, as I had to read it for a class, but it is very poor indeed. Okay, I'm not a PhD historian like Bennett, but that shouldn't mean my criticism is invalid. The book is an interesting concept, trying find out what a peasant's life was like, but is... more info
