medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

In response, briefly, to the recently posed question on when 'Late
Antiquity' and the 'Early Middle Ages' begin (and presumably end), it of
course depends on the questions you are asking and where you are
discussing.

However, one of the most wonderful critiques of the kind of periodisation
medievalists use is to be highly recommended in such a debate, the
inaugural article of Medieval History journal:

T. Reuter, 'Medieval: Another Tyrannous Construct?'
The Medieval History Journal, 1 (1998), 25-45

And if you are interested in agrarian reforms and land-based economy, the
Middle Ages lasted until about 1800.
