A new history of the Middle Ages, revealing how Christianity and Islam evolved out of a shared cultural and religious ferment, and how this shaped the development of the West. The medieval world, stretching from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, from the Asian Steppes to the Straits of Gibraltar and North Africa, from the Nile to the Volga, lasted from the fourth to the sixteenth centuries. This geographical and temporal breadth (including the early decades of European conquest and settlement in the Americas), is much larger and longer than that imagined by medieval historians only half a century ago. New and exciting scholarship from the last three decades continues to shape this expansive vision, powerfully enhancing our insight into what it means to talk about medieval Europe specifically and western culture in general. In Beatrice's Last Smile, Mark Pegg offers a synthesis of the most innovative scholarship on the Middle Ages of the last thirty years.
