Summary "Heroes of Modern Europe" by Alice Birkhead is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores various influential figures who shaped European history, particularly during the turbulent times surrounding the decline of the Roman Empire through the Renaissance and Reformation periods. It likely provides insights into the lives, struggles, and legacies of notable historical personalities, including literary and political figures. At the start of the book, Birkhead sets the stage by discussing the decline of the Roman Empire and the chaotic rise of various powers and ideologies during the Middle Ages, painting a vivid picture of the cultural and societal shifts of the time. The opening chapter emphasizes the aftermath of Rome's fall, highlighting the barbarian invasions and the impact on the art, literature, and religious practices of Europe.
