The intellectual, cultural, and political renaissance that characterized the Europe of Charlemagne was threatened severely by invasions from all sides. Only Germany avoided the consequent phenomenon of feudalism. This was due to a series of rulers who provided protection to the people, reform to the Church, and patronage of cultural revival. From the thirteenth century, this cultural and political unity began to fragment, and by 1648 what had been a successful revival of the Roman Empire had been destroyed. In addition to tracing the political, cultural and religious history of medieval Germany, this volume examines the thought of outstanding German men and women, and includes an extensive account of the changing status of German Jews.
John R. Sommerfeldt is professor emeritus at the University of Dallas. He was the founder of the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University and, for many years, hosted the International Congress on Medieval Studies held each year at that University. In 1972 he came to the University of Dallas to serve as its president. He then returned to teaching at that university until 2010 when he retired and was made professor emeritus. He has written or edited thirty volumes on matters intellectual and cultural.
