Our Sea of Islands

New Approaches to British Insularity in the Late Middle Ages

Herausgegeben: Boyd Goldie, Matthew; Sobecki, Sebastian

Beschreibung

This book considers how to conceive of the group of islands known in our time as the British Isles in the Late Middle Ages. Was the archipelago considered one geographical unit? Was it an it, or were the islands a they? Singular or plural? Contributions consider possible paths to thinking about late-medieval archipelagism, and in doing so, highlight the inconsistencies and contradictions in medieval (and modern) conceptions of the region.
