"What McKitterick calls the 'explosion of historical writing’ in the Carolingian age marked the dawn of a radically new and lasting culture in Europe and disclosed the mind-sets of its creators. Yet, in many cases, published editions deform the texts, not least by omissions, and obscure what Frankish authors actually wrote. Building on her internationally acclaimed studies of oral and written communication in the early Middle Ages, McKitterick goes back to manuscript sources. She discovers what Carolingians actually wrote as she advances a compelling new key to the catalysts of Europe’s historical identity and how they did their work." —Karl F. Morrison, Lessing Professor of History and Poetics, Rutgers University
"Rosamond McKitterick is one of the three or four top early medieval historians in the world. This book makes an original and distinctive contribution to our understanding of how people in the early Middle Ages imagined the various pasts that lay behind them. McKitterick's treatment of universalizing histories is fresh and goes further than the work of her predecessors . . . her treatment of Rome in the Carolingian mind is original and really important, and her last chapter permits some fascinating insights into how contemporary events became historical, became history." —Thomas F. X. Noble, University of Notre Dame
