Medieval History
High levels of illiteracy during medieval times meant the ?dark? ages were actually a period of surprising cultural richness, with the majority of people relying on vibrant art, drama and music to learn. In a special week of events organised by the British Academy and Royal Society of Edinburgh, new light will be cast on the cultural life this fascinating period in history.
Eight events across Medieval Week (all free to the public) will uncover the truth behind preconceived notions of the Dark or Middle Ages (c.500 ? 1400 AD). In a series of talks, lectures and ?in conversation? events, experts will come to Edinburgh to explore different aspects of medieval life, highlighting the similarities and differences from our own time.
