History writing in the Middle Ages did not belong to any particular
genre, language or class of texts. Its remit was wide, embracing
the events of antiquity; the deeds of saints, rulers and abbots;
archival practices; and contemporary reportage. This volume
addresses the challenges presented by medieval historiography by
using the diverse methodologies of medieval studies: legal and
literary history, art history, religious studies, codicology, the
history of the emotions, gender studies and critical race theory.
Spanning one thousand years of historiography in England, Wales,
Ireland and Scotland, the essays map historical thinking across
literary genres and expose the rich veins of national mythmaking
tapped into by medieval writers. Additionally, they attend to the
ways in which medieval histories crossed linguistic and
geographical borders. Together, they trace multiple temporalities
and productive anachronisms that fuelled some of the most
innovative medieval writing.
