What did medieval authors know about their world? Were they
parochial and focused on just their monastery, town, or kingdom? Or
were they aware of the broader medieval Europe that modern
historians write about? This collection brings the focus back to
medieval authors to see how they described their world. While we
see that each author certainly had their own biases, the vast
majority of them did not view the world as constrained to their
small piece of it. Instead, they talked about the wider world, and
often they had informants or textual sources that informed them
about the world, even if they did not visit it themselves. This
volume shows that they also used similar ideas to create space and
identity - whether talking about the desert, the holy land, or food
practices in their texts. By examining medieval authors and their
own perceptions of their world, this collection offers a framework
for discussions of medieval Europe in the twenty-first century.
