Peter Heather, an authority on the history of the early Middle Ages, focuses on the Great Migration of Peoples in the 1st millennium AD. The author gives a comprehensive characterization of the period that became key to the emergence of nations and the creation of the first states of the Franks, Germans, Slavs and other peoples; analyzes the patterns and causes of migration in the context of the transformations that affected the western part of the continent. Peter Heather pays particular attention to the large-scale Slavicization of Central and Eastern Europe and the consolidation of Slavic states that still exist today. While arguing for the determining role of migration in the transformation of barbarian Europe, the historian does not discount the importance of internal economic, social, and political transformations, as well as the interpenetration of cultures, the spread of Christianity, writing, and crafts. Describing the birth of a new Europe, Peter Heather convincingly argues that migration was the key phenomenon of the 1st millennium that shaped the modern world map.
