The Myth of the Dark Ages: Seeing a New Medieval World
We all believe we know something about the medieval world, the so-called “Dark Ages.” But how do we know these things? What assumptions stand between us and this distant past? Together with Prof. Matthew Gabriele, we’ll shine a light on this much-misunderstood period to see how these myths were created. Together, we'll explore the medieval world in all its humanity - all its messiness, horrors, and wonders.
All are welcome, though there is a registration fee. See more and register NOW for this 4 week online course.
