Beskrivning

This book considers how to conceive of the group of islands known in our time as the British Isles in the Late Middle Ages. 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.
