In its broad lines the historical epic of the wandering of the nations, and of the formation of Christendom out of a chaos of tribes and peoples and tongues, is as stirring as any saga; in its details there are many bits of epic prose, many quaint scenes from the life of the time, and many pictures of well-known heroes. It is, moreover, with all its tragedy of the fall of the Roman Empire, a tale of hope; for there runs through it a single line of progress, -that the barbarian of one age appears as the noble of the next, taking his turn in defending his world against the onrush of new barbarians. Barbarian becoming noble unconsciously, uncivilized becoming civilized, that is the tale of the early Middle Ages in relation to the world of today; and it is a tale fascinating beyond one's most hopeful anticipations.\"-from the Preface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCover image: \"Germania Stays the Romans.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003eBarbarian and Noble\u003cbr\u003eThe Story of Drusus\u003cbr\u003eA Roman and a Barbarian\u003cbr\u003eThe Coming of the Witch People\u003cbr\u003eAlaric the Goth\u003cbr\u003eAttila the Scourge of God\u003cbr\u003eTheodoric\u003cbr\u003eGoth against Goth\u003cbr\u003eClovis, King of the Franks\u003cbr\u003eRoderick and the Saracens\u003cbr\u003eCharlemagne\u003cbr\u003eThe School of the Palace\u003cbr\u003eVikings from the North\u003cbr\u003eAlfred and the Danes\u003cbr\u003eRollo the Viking\u003cbr\u003eSaint Winfred\u003cbr\u003eRichard the Crusader\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarion Florence Lansing (1883-1966) obtained an MA from Radcliffe College (the female coordinate institution for the then all-male Harvard College) in 1905.
