Beskrivning
The late medieval period in Iberia saw an explosion in the writing of narrative histories. In examining eighteen different, if related, accounts of the reign of the Visigothic king Wamba (r. 671-680) this book aims to analyse the nature of the discourse of the late medieval Iberian chronicle. By means of a detailed analysis of the content and narrative techniques of the chronicles concerned, the book seeks to address the question: to what extent is it possible to speak of a genre of late medieval Iberian chronicles?

Recensioner i media

"...The methodology is meticulously explained, and involves a number of steps, which are marked by chapter-divisions....Chapter Four is most probably that which will be most useful to a wider range of scholars interested in medieval historiography, not just late medieval or Iberian, but in general. It is a valuable and purposeful text in and of itself....It should by now be apparent that I consider this book to be one of the singularly most important contributions to the study of medieval Iberian historiography in recent years. Its broad scope and methodological efficacy have definitely given us new insights into the poetics of these texts. I applaud the effort and look forward to the future research that the present study will no doubt give rise to." - Kim Bergqvist, Stockholm University, in: La corónica, Volume 41, Number 2 (Spring 2013), pp. 265-270
