Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, No. 1: The Frozen World

Focuses on the Graeco-Roman ideal and its survival through the Dark Ages. Examines the achievements of Celtic Christianity in the face of pagan assault and the peril of civilization during the centuries until Charlemagne emerged as leader of the Franks, renewed ties with Rome and the Byzantine Empire, and re-established the ideal of European unity when he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 800 A. D.
