Description
One of the world’s greatest authorities on the Middle
Ages, Professor Robert Bartlett of St Andrew’s University, investigates
the intellectual landscape of the medieval world.
In the first programme, Knowledge,
he explores the way medieval man understood the world – as a place of
mystery, even enchantment. The world was a book written by God. But as
the Middle Ages grew to a close, it became a place to be mastered, even
exploited.
