In this ground-breaking work, Norman Cantor explains how our current notion of the Middle Ages—with its vivid images of wars, tournaments, plagues, saints and kings, knights and ladies—was born in the 20th century. The medieval world was not simply excavated through systematic research. It had to be conceptually created: it had to be invented, and this is the story of that invention.

Narration is VERY off-putting

What did you like best about Inventing the Middle Ages? What did you like least?
The narrator sounds utterly BORED. He drops pauses into the reading at weird times, so that the sentences don't make sense, and after you hear him do this about a hundred times (and I'm only on chapter 4) you realize it's because he's just mindlessly reading and paying no attention to what it says.
Couldn't they find someone who had even a mild interest in the subject, so that his mind wouldn't wander off and take the listener with it? I mean, this was a full price book, not a bargain basement volume. And while I'm on the subject - why choose a reader with a pompous art-gallery British accent so extreme that it sounds faked? To read a book written by an AMERICAN professor? A book that is mainly about Europe, not Britain?
