This volume contains work by scholars actively publishing on origin
legends across early medieval western Europe, from the fall of Rome
to the high Middle Ages. Its thematic structure creates a dialogue
between texts and regions traditionally studied in isolation. Part
I (Regions) introduces the corpus of origin texts from the areas
under this volume's purview. Part II (Themes) identifies key themes
that appear in origin legends and introduces new arguments on a
wide range of early medieval material. The chapters in Part III
(Approaches) conclude the volume by highlighting a range of
disciplinary, methodological, and theoretical approaches to origin
legends. Contributors are Lindy Brady, Erica Buchberger, Thomas
Charles-Edwards, Michael Clarke, Marios Costambeys, Katherine
Cross, Helen Fulton, Shami Ghosh, Ben Guy, Judith Jesch, Catherine
E. Karkov, Robert Kasperski, John D. Niles, Conor O'Brien, Alheydis
Plassmann, Andrew Rabin, Helmut Reimitz, Robert W. Rix, and Patrick
Wadden.
