«
The authors of Fifty Early Medieval Things have gathered an energizing set of artifacts and sites to champion a close and active interrelationship between people and things in our understanding and teaching of early medieval history... The diverse group of examples characterized in brief essays is, largely, very well considered as the basis for a contemporary introduction to the early Middle Ages. The set is constructed to create flow and counterpoint among examples of widely varying media, functions, production contexts, and techniques.
