«L'Europe est-elle née au Moyen Age ?» is the historical essay by Jacques Le Goff, published by Seuil in paperback (352 pages, in French).
The essay explores the formation of Europe and highlights the decisive role of the Middle Ages. Le Goff traces a long arc from the ruins of the Roman Empire to the discoveries of the sixteenth century, showing how contemporary Europe inherits from that period traits such as potential unity, fundamental diversity, the mixing of populations, tensions between East and West and between North and South, and culture as a unifying force, from the Carolingian failure to the splendour of cities and universities.
Originally published in 2003, it is part of the «Faire l'Europe» collection by Seuil, dedicated to the history of Europe.
For readers interested in medieval history and the origins of European identity.
Jacques Le Goff was a French historian and prolific author specializing in the Middle Ages, particularly the 12th and 13th centuries.
