This volume brings together for the first time a collection of
twelve articles written both jointly and individually by Peregrine
Horden and Nicholas Purcell as they have participated in the
debates generated by their major work, The Corrupting Sea: A Study
of Mediterranean History (2000). One theme in those debates has
been how a comprehensive Mediterranean history can be written: how
an approach to Mediterranean history by way of its ecologies and
the communications between them can be joined up with more
mainstream forms of enquiry - cultural, social, economic, and
political, with their specific chronologies and turning points. The
second theme raises the question of how Mediterranean history can
be fitted into a larger, indeed global history. It concerns the
definition of the Mediterranean in space, the way to characterise
its frontiers, and the relations between the region so defined and
the other large spaces, many of them oceans, to which historians
have increasingly turned for novel disciplinary-cum-geographical
units of study. A volume collecting the two authors' studies on
both these themes, as well as their reply to critics of The
Corrupting Sea, should prove invaluable to students and scholars
from a number of disciplines: ancient, medieval and early modern
history, archaeology, and social anthropology. (CS1083).
