Heart of Europe: A History of the Holy Roman Empire | Peter H. Wilson, Professor, Peter H. Wilson

1 post | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read

The Holy Roman Empire lasted a thousand years, far longer than ancient Rome. Its continuity rested on the ideal of a unified Christian civilization. As Peter Wilson shows, the Empire tells the story of Europe better than histories of individual nation-states, and its legacy can be seen today in debates over the nature of the European Union.

Heart of Europe: A History of the Holy Roman Empire | Peter H. Wilson, Professor, Peter H. Wilson

bailed

I started this audiobook but had to abandon it 6 chapters in. The narrator is fantastic. His continental accent is punctuated and I love how he says controversy (conTRAHversey). It‘s the writing and organization of the text that made me bail. The author attempts a thematic rather than chronological history of the Holy Roman Empire. It‘s confusing as hell! There‘s no story to follow, no biographies of rulers. I‘m returning to a history of Rome now.
