Before we get to the Saturday Lecture, I would like to take this opportunity to announce a ‘Call For Papers’.
This blog has many people with a very divergent set of expertise and knowledge. Therefore, I am opening this slot for guest ‘lectures’ for anyone who submits a well written, fully cited, submission on a topic that is normally not covered on the blog. The submission can be on a topic that is covered but it will have to be very in depth and go into new detail that would greatly increase the understanding of the subject at hand. Submissions may be made to the blog’s email address with the subject line ‘Saturday Lecture Series’. I reserve the right to edit, approve, and publish at my discretion. So, who is up for the challenge?
In the mean time, let’s return to Prof Eugen Weber’s series The Western Tradition:
18. The Age of Charlemagne
Charlemagne revived hopes for a new empire in Western Europe.
