Fifty Early Medieval Thingsexplores objects and places for what they really are: the fabric of the world, the raw materials of life and history. This book begins with an extensive introduction to the historiography, an assessment of the methodological and epistemological implications of studying material culture and an exploration of the diverse facets of the human experience that the study of the material world can help to illuminate. Followed by fifty short chapters, each focused on a specific object and a glossary of key terms and concepts, Fifty Early Medieval Things invites students of early medieval history and material culture to engage with objects in new and exciting ways.
