First full-length survey of the fluid relationship between these
two areas at a time of rapid change. This book provides the first
comprehensive analysis of the development of northern England and
southern Scotland in the formative era of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries. How did "middle Britain" come to be divided
between twoseparate unitary kingdoms called "England" and
"Scotland"? How, and how differently, was government exercised and
experienced? How did people identify themselves by their languages
and naming practices? What major themes can be detected in the
development of ecclesiastical structures and religious culture?
What can be learned about the rural and the emerging urban
environments in terms of lordly exploitation and control,
settlement patterns and how the landscape itself evolved? These are
among the key questions addressed by the contributors, who bring to
bear multi-faceted approaches to medieval "middle Britain". Above
all, by pursuing similarities and differences from a comparative
"transnational" perspective it becomes clearer how the "old"
interacted with the "new", what was exceptional and what was not,
and how far the histories of northern England and southern Scotland
point to common or not so commonfoundations and trajectories. KEITH
