Chapter 10 Review: Suggested References

Lopez was the first to recognize the importance of the commercial revolution, and Little makes crucial connections between the new commerce and religious reform. Miller’s running narrative and primary sources provide the best introduction to the Investiture Conflict and its aftermath, and her book on clerical clothing shows that “fashion” is not a modern invention. Asbridge offers a vivid account of the crusades, while Nicholson gives a quick overview along with primary sources. Fuhrmann, Hallam, and Huscroft cover the new western monarchies well, while Waley takes up the Italian republics.
