Description
Professor Robert Bartlett, one of the world's greatest authorities on the Middle Ages, investigates the intellectual landscape of the medieval world. In 'Belief', Professor Bartlett explores belief... in the supernatural. The medieval dead shared the world with the living: encounters with the dead and visions of the next world ensured a two-way traffic between this world and the next. Medieval sources are used to create a keen sense of the after-life.
