本书雄心勃勃且极具启发性地审视了为何所谓的“黑暗时代”根本名不副实。获奖历史学家 Chris Wickham 以一部格局宏大、严谨而又通俗易懂的学术力作，挑战了欧洲历史中关于黑暗时代的传统观念。Wickham 借助丰富的新史料，并将历史学与考古学研究方法深思熟虑地融合在一起，指出这几个世纪在欧洲认同的形成过程中至关重要。这一时代绝非夹在更重大纪元之间的平淡过渡期，它本身就足以向我们揭示关于人类进步的……

Chris Wickham 最近出的新书《The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000》照亮了这段常被误解的历史时期，展示了它在哪些方面其实更黑暗，在哪些方面其实更光明。
Chris Wickham's recent book "The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages 400-1000" shines a light on this oft misunderstood period, showing ways in which it was darker and ways in which it was lighter.
……军队变得更难，帝国也变得更难防守。而帝国的东半部分在相当长的一段时间里依然保持着相当大的活力。我很喜欢一本讲这个话题的书：《The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages, 400-1000》https://www.amazon.ca/Inheritance-Rome-Illuminating-Dark-400...
…armies became harder, and the empire became harder to defend. And the eastern half of the Empire continued with significant vibrancy for quite some time. I really like this book on this topic: "The Inheritance of Rome: Illuminating the Dark Ages, 400-1000" https://www.amazon.ca/Inheritance-Rome-Illuminating-Dark-400...
供参考（FWIW），我推荐 Christopher Wickham 的《The Inheritance of Rome》。内容跳跃性很大，但对东罗马帝国和哈里发国的崛起做了大量非常深入的剖析。它展现的历史可能跟你预想的完全不一样。
FWIW I'd recommend "The Inheritance of Rome" by Christopher Wickham. It is jumps around a lot but gives a lot of really in-depth analysis of the Eastern Roman Empire and the rise of the Caliphate. It's doesn't look like you may expect.
……当年富可敌国。如果我没记错的话，其中一个在皈依基督教后变卖地产，甚至引发了席卷整个罗马帝国的房地产危机。（出处：Chris Wickham 的《The Inheritance of Rome》，前几章之一。）而就在几个世纪前，尤利乌斯·恺撒可以说是地球上有史以来最富有的人之一。完全有理由相信拥有那种……的家族
…days with unfathomable wealth. If memory serves me well, one was so wealthy that when they sold their land after becoming Christians they caused a real estate crisis across the Roman Empire. (Source: The inheritance of Rome, Chris Wickham, one of the early chapters.) And just a few centuries earlier, Julius Caesar arguably was one of the richest to have ever lived on earth. It's sensible to expect that families with that…
我从学术研究（比如 Chris Wickham 的《The Inheritance of Rome》）中得到的体会，与其说是“罗马的陷落并没有那么糟”，不如说是“不同的地方发生了不同的变化，但并不存在某个单一事件让所有事情全变了样”，以及“那些所谓接管了罗马的‘蛮族’……
What I take from the scholarship (e.g. Chris Wickham's _The Inheritance of Rome_) is less "the fall of Rome wasn't that bad" as "various things changed in various places, but there wasn't a single event where everything changed" and "the `barbarians' who supposedly took over Rome…
行吧，我不是中世纪学者，我只是/之前只是借用了 Chris Wickham（货真价实的中世纪学者）在他《The Inheritance Of Rome》一书中的解读发表看法，他在书里“农民的囚笼（The caging of the peasantry）”这一章开头简短讨论了这个事件（他的翻译也更接近另一位评论者从拉丁语翻译过来的版本）。他……
Fair enough, I'm no medieval scholar, I am/was merely commenting with the interpretation that Chris Wickham (who is) had in his book "The Inheritance Of Rome", where he begins his chapter "The caging of the peasantry" with a brief discussion of this event (and a translation that looks a bit more like the one done from the Latin by the other commenter). He…
