The century and a half following the Norman Conquest of 1066 saw an
explosion in the writing of Latin and vernacular history in
England, while the creation of the romance genre reinvented the
fictional narrative. Where critics have seen these developments as
part of a cross-Channel phenomenon, Laura Ashe argues that a
genuinely distinctive character can be found in the writings of
England during the period. Drawing on a wide range of historical,
legal and cultural contexts, she discusses how writers addressed
the Conquest and rebuilt their sense of identity as a new, united
'English' people, with their own national literature and culture,
in a manner which was to influence all subsequent medieval English
literature. This study opens up new ways of reading post-Conquest
texts in relation to developments in political and legal history,
and in terms of their place in the English Middle Ages as a whole.
