The skin of our teeth (50:43) illuminates the Dark Ages, the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire. The great thaw (48:24) traces the sudden reawakening of 12th-century European civilization from the first manifestations at the Abbey of Cluny to its high point, the building of the cathedral at Chartres. Romance and reality (49:56) explores the achievements of the later Middle Ages in France and Italy.
