Brill's Series on the Early Middle Ages33 Living in a Carolingian World

Living in a Carolingian World explores a range of ordinary people by investigating experiences and conceptions different than those of the Carolingian Empire’s most powerful and authoritative elites, thereby contributing to a richer, more textured history of early medieval society. 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.

Hohman, David Patterson, Martha Rampton, Carine van Rhijn, Elina Screen, Rachel Stone, and Josh Timmermann.
