This new edition of The Origins of France brings Edward
James's classic textbook right up-to-date. Over the last two decades
the study of early medieval France has seen enormous developments, and
this new edition makes the huge breadth of scholarship in the field
accessible to students. Still the only English-language survey of early
medieval France to include both the Merovingian and Carolingian
periods, this is essential reading for all students of France and of
medieval Europe.
