Book excerpt: "The thousand year gap between the fall of Rome and the dawn of the Renaissance is sometimes dismissed as a cultural wasteland, a benighted period aptly called the Dark Ages. While it's true the arts and sciences didn't ... thrive during this time, the gift of literacy brought by Christian missionaries to the various tribes of Europe kept one literary form alive: the epic. Part poetry, part adventure story, the epic celebrated the deeds of heroes and dramatized a nation's cultural and religious ideals..."--Preface.
