The Medieval West included at its broadest both the Latin or Frankish West， and the Orthodox Eastern part， where Greek remainedthe language of empire. More narrowly， it was Catholic（Latin） Europe.After the crowning of Charlemagne， this part of Europe was referred to byits neighbors in Byzantium and the Moslem world as Frankish. After the fall of Rome much of Greco-Roman art， literature， scienceand even technology were all but lost in the western part of the old empire，centered around Italy， and Gaul （France）. However， this would becomethe center of a new West. Europe fell into political anarchy， with manywarring kingdoms and principalities. Under the Frankish kings， it eventu-ally reunified and evolved into feudalism. Much of the basis of the post-Roman cultural world had been set be-fore the fall of the Empire， mainly through the integrating and reshaping ofRoman ideas through Christian thought. The Greek and Roman gods hadbeen completely replaced by Christianity around the 4th and 5th centuries，since it became the official State religion as a unifying force in Western Eu-rope. Art and literature， law， education， and politics were preserved inthe teachings of the Church. The Church founded many cathedrals， univer-sities， monasteries and seminaries， some of which continue to exist today.In the Medieval period， the route to power for many men was in theChurch.
学校上课需要用的教材，书不厚，但依然很不错
送来时书很新，我是因为辅修课要的资料，学校的一折不打很贵，当当网的书货到付款，比在学校定数的人还提前拿到书，给满意！
学校里用的书，老师说选这本书是因为价钱低，西方文化不可能一本书就讲得完的。
老师让买的，还没看。。
是十篇介绍西方文化的文章，课后有阅读题，书后也有答案。不过文章的选材不怎么样，而且书的印刷质量很不好。
