Reseña de The Dark Ages Collection

The Dark Ages Collection de J.B. Bury, Edward Creasy, Henry Bradley, Edward Gibbon, David Hume, Charles Oman, The griffin classics & Washington Irving Resumen del Libro

The Dark Ages is a historical periodization traditionally referring to the Middle Ages, that asserts that a demographic, cultural, and economic deterioration occurred in Western Europe following the decline of the Roman Empire.

The term employs traditional light-versus-darkness imagery to contrast the era's "darkness" (lack of records) with earlier and later periods of "light" (abundance of records).The concept of a "Dark Age" originated in the 1330s with the Italian scholar Petrarch, who regarded the post-Roman centuries as "dark" compared to the light of classical antiquity.
