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.
