Writing Normandy brings together eighteen articles by historian
Felice Lifshitz, some of which are published here for the first
time. The articles examine the various ways in which local and
regional narratives about the past were created and revised in
Normandy during the central Middle Ages. These narratives are
analyzed through a combination of both cultural studies and
manuscript studies in order to assess how they functioned, who they
benefitted, and the various contexts in which they were
transmitted. The essays pay particular attention to the narratives
built around venerated saints and secular rulers, and in doing so
bring together narratives that have traditionally been discussed
separately by scholars. The book will appeal to scholars and
students of cultural history and medieval history, as well as those
interested in manuscript studies. (CS1095)
