IN her previous three talks Miss Eileen Power presented a picture of Europe in the Dark
Ages and the Middle Ages proper that followed them. This evening she will devote her last talk to the reasons for the transition from mediæval
Christendom to the modern Europe of which Mr. Somervell will talk in the concluding portion of the course-the waning power of feudalism and the Papacy, the decay of the Empire, and the rise of. strong royal governments which made possible the nation-state.
