End of the Middle Age: 1273-1453

End of the Middle Age: 1273-1453, written by Eleanor Constance Lodge in the early 20th century, examines a pivotal 180-year period marked by significant transitions from medieval to modern characteristics. The book covers key events such as the rise of Joan of Arc, the recovery of Spain from the Moors, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, which ended the Eastern Roman Empire. Lodge, the first woman to earn a Doctorate of Letters from Oxford, provides a concise overview of the political and cultural shifts that defined this era, making it a notable historical survey.
