Waldemar Looks at the Age of Darkness in a New Age of Light: Perspective from the Complete Series

The Dark Ages have been misunderstood. History has identified the period after the fall of the Roman Empire with a descent into barbarism – a terrible period when civilization came to a standstill. Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this four-part series, he argues that the Dark Ages were a time of great artistic achievement, with new ideas and religions sparking new artistic adventures.
