'Chris Wickham is the leading expert on early medieval Europe, and [The Inheritance of Rome] is ... refreshingly different from all the traditional accounts ... a work of tremendous authority and breadth. With this book, as with Charlemagne's empire, one feels that an extraordinary range of things have been brought together, and that it may be a long time before they are united so successfully again' - Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph
