Trevor-Roper H.R.

Summary

H.R. Trevor-Roper: The Rise of Christian Europe

The most important parts of this book were primarily a series of lectures at the University of Sussex in October 1963 and were broadcast on the BBC. They were published in lecture form by The Listener in November and December 1963. After the lectures, I revised them for print, corrected some minor factual errors that were pointed out to me, and expanded some parts that I had originally had to condense due to time constraints. I hope that because of the first one, they are less susceptible to the criticism of professional media experts who, as I read, point "sharp knives" at me, and that due to the expansion, they have become clearer to the readers who, I hope, will be more lenient.

I do not expect that I will avoid the criticism of experts by changing them. In these lectures, I have, no doubt, fallen into the wasp of controversy and shown a deplorable ignorance of certain deep topics. However, I am willing to take that risk. I believe that historians should study historical processes, and not just a part of the narrow field in which they inevitably specialize; and if this means that they occasionally have to venture into less known areas, they must be prepared for the consequences. They know that through a long series of jealously tended and strongly fenced small estates, a thorn or perhaps a few angry pellets of shot will be stuck in their fortunately thickened skin. However, all in all, (I think) the pleasure outweighs the danger. Also maybe a benefit. It is pleasant and useful for the historian to occasionally turn to fresh and less familiar fields and to apply there the techniques and try out the theories he has developed in his own narrower studies. If I apply them successfully myself - if this attempt by a modern historian to provide a concise view of the Middle Ages succeeds in raising questions about history in general - I hope I will be forgiven for the minor mistakes I have undoubtedly made and will not recoil cowardly at the sight of those gleaming, sharpened medieval knives. H.R. Trevor - Roper
