Through close readings of both familiar and obscure medieval
texts, the contributors to this volume attempt to read England as a
singularly powerful entity within a vast geopolitical network. This
capacious world can be glimpsed in the cultural flows connecting
the Normans of Sicily with the rulers of England, or Chaucer with
legends arriving from Bohemia. It can also be seen in surprising
places in literature, as when green children are discovered in
twelfth-century Yorkshire or when Welsh animals begin to speak of
the long history of their land's colonization. The contributors to
this volume seek moments of cultural admixture and heterogeneity
within texts that have often been assumed to belong to a single,
national canon, discovering moments when familiar and bounded space
erupt into unexpected diversity and infinite realms.
