Description: Explores the formation of local and universal cultural dynamics that powerfully shaped Europe from Late Antiquity to the late Middle Ages.00In this volume, scholars from North America and Europe explore the intersection of medieval identity with ethnicity, religion, power, law, inheritance, texts, and memory. They offer new historiographical interventions into questions of identity, but also of ethnonyms, conflict studies, the feudal revolution, gender and kinship studies, and local history. Employing interdisciplinary approaches and textual hermeneutics, the authors represent an international scholarly community characterized by intellectual restlessness, historiographical experimentation, and defiance of convention.
