The Middle Ages are still too often associated with a dark, barbaric, primitive period without progress. Nothing could be further from the truth! Medieval scholars knew that the earth was spherical. Inventions such as glasses, the spinning wheel and the mechanical clock are medieval. The modern novel emerged at the end of the twelfth century, centuries before the invention of the printing press. In the Middle Ages, a very unique way of thinking emerged that is the origin of our modern view of man and the world. Mirror of the Middle Ages counters the many prejudices and paints a more nuanced picture of medieval culture. About the emancipation of the vernacular, shifts in spirituality, the urge to experiment in literature, the emergence of civil morality. This book puts an end once and for all to the Middle Ages of chastity belts, creepy castles, an oppressive Church and short-sighted scholars.
