Summary:

Living in a Carolingian World invites you to look beyond kings, bishops, and court politics to explore the diverse historical experiences and conceptions of the Carolingian non-elite. Through case studies and new research, this volume presents a range of Carolingian worlds that demonstrate the diversity of early medieval society. From agricultural laborers to criminal priests, from ideas about how the non-elite understood weather magic to how they suffered from the abuses of Frankish officials and armed men, this volume offers a fresh exploration of the Carolingian Empire. Contributors are: Alexandre Beaudet, Marios Costambeys, Simon Coupland, Jan van Doren, Valerie L. Garver, Kelly Gibson, Eric J. Goldberg, Thomas A. E. Greene, Laura A. Hohman, David Patterson, Martha Rampton, Carine van Rhijn, Elina Screen, Rachel Stone, and Josh Timmermann.
