Flodoard of Rheims (893/4-966) is one of the tenth century's most
intriguing but neglected historians. His works are essential
sources for the emergence of the West Frankish and Ottonian
kingdoms in the tumultuous decades following the collapse of the
Carolingian empire in 888. Yet although Flodoard is a crucial
narrative voice from this period, his works have seldom been
considered in the context of the evolving circumstances of his
turbulent career or his literary aims. This important new study is
the first to analyse and synthesise Flodoard's entire output,
suggesting that his writings about Rheims, contemporary politics
and the Christian past have until now been taken at face value
without regard for his own intentions or priorities, and therefore
have been misunderstood. Edward Roberts' re-evaluation of the
relationship between political participation, historical
understanding and authorial individuality casts important new light
on the political and cultural history of tenth-century Europe.
