Thomas F. Madden
An award-winning, widely recognized expert on premodern history, Professor Thomas F. Madden launches the first of a two-part series on the medieval world. This all-encompassing investigation of a highly influential time period includes the major events of the era and informative discussion of empire, papacy, the Crusades, and the fall of Constantinople.
During the course of these lectures, Professor Madden also addresses the rise of Islam, reform movements, and schisms in the church. In so doing, Professor Madden underscores the significance and grand scale of an age that continues to hold an undeniable fascination for people today.

What did you like best about this story?
Prof Madden is not at all condescending. This is part 1 of 2 parts- both are excellent and informative and Prof M makes amusing and interesting asides. I've listened to all about 4/5 times.Prof Madden is fabulous

Excellent course, not so excellent professor

Substantively, the Middle Ages are fascinating, especially in the hands of someone who can discern what we can know, what we don't know, and the trends in historians' views of the limited source material. If you find this topic interesting, I would highly recommend his courses on the Crusades and on the History of Venice, though I have yet to run across one I didn't like. They are all reminiscent of the best of college lectures.
Favorite audible lecturer; interesting topic
