Taylor begins by discussing the transmission of classical texts and ideas from the ancient world to the Middle Ages. He then examines the role of the church in preserving and interpreting classical culture, and the ways in which classical ideas were incorporated into Christian theology.Taylor also explores the influence of classical literature on medieval poetry and prose, and the ways in which classical themes and motifs were adapted to suit the tastes and sensibilities of medieval audiences. He discusses the revival of classical learning during the Renaissance, and the ways in which this movement led to a renewed interest in the classical heritage.Throughout the book, Taylor argues that the classical heritage played a crucial role in shaping the culture of the Middle Ages, and that its influence can still be seen in many aspects of modern Western culture.
