A historian's debut essay traces the medieval traces hiding in plain sight
In "Reconstruire le Moyen Age," Pauline Guillemet examines how our image of the medieval period was built, and why it still shapes the cities we live in.
Pauline Guillemet, a historian, has published her first essay, "Reconstruire le Moyen Age," described by Le Monde as a lively, general-audience book conceived as a guide to how our medieval imaginary was forged, and how it persists.
According to Le Monde, the book looks at the medieval imprint that remains visible in our cities today, tracing the way ideas about the Middle Ages took shape over time and continue to inform how people see the urban landscapes around them.
Le Monde's review does not provide further details on the book's structure, publisher, or length.
