内容简介：
中世纪的历史作品不属于任何特定的类型、语言或文本类别。它的范围很广泛，既包含古代的事件，圣徒、统治者和住持的行为，又包含档案性实践和当时的新闻报道。本书通过运用中世纪研究的多种方法来应对中世纪史学所带来的挑战，这些方法有：法律和文学史、艺术史、宗教研究、手稿学、情感史、性别研究和批判种族理论。这些文章跨越了英格兰、威尔士、爱尔兰和苏格兰的千年的历史，描绘了跨文学体裁的历史思维，并揭示了中世纪作家所挖掘出的民族神话的丰富脉络。此外，文章还关注了中世纪历史跨越语言和地理边界的方式。文章还对为某些最具创新性的中世纪作品提供素材的多个具有时效性的事件以及富有成效的过时思想进行了追踪。

• Uses diverse methodologies derived from literary criticism, art history, political and legal history, critical race theory and gender studies
