Program Information
The millennium from the end of the Roman empire to the Renaissance is the formative period of European civilization. The Middle Ages and the Dark Ages were periods of human drama full of change and growth and a struggle to regain a civilized way of life. The Age of Chivalry with its crusades, the flowering of the arts and architecture, and the emergence of new philosophical concepts and ideologies found culmination in the Renaissance. For those interested in the pre-modern world, this program permits a broad approach to the subject.
