Críticas

"Today's Medieval University provides an excellent overview of the Medieval University; it gives a fine sense of the existing literature and the extent to which scholarship on the medieval university has and has not been a part of medievalism, the study of the Middle Ages in the post-medieval world." - Angela Weisl, Seton Hall University

Reseña del editor

Just how medieval is the modern university? From their medieval beginnings in Western Europe, universities have remained monolithic and static entities, renovating themselves just enough to avoid massive interventions by the state or the church. Like parliamentary democracies, they function just well enough that while feelings of despair are frequent, and anticipation of imminent collapse constant, they continue. In the modern era, as universities face a new set of challenges, this book asks if there is not some value in pondering the medieval university, and the continuities that exist as much as do the fractures.
