Roadworks: Medieval Britain, medieval roads is a groundbreaking
interdisciplinary study of roads and wayfinding in medieval
England, Wales and Scotland. It looks afresh at the relationship
between the road as a material condition of daily life and the
formation of local and national communities, arguing that the
business of road maintenance, road travel and wayfinding
constitutes social bonds. It challenges the long-held picture of a
medieval Britain lacking in technological sophistication, passively
inheriting Roman roads and never engineering any of its own.
Previous studies of medieval infrastructure tend to be
discipline-specific and technical. This accessible collection draws
out the imaginative, symbolic, and cultural significance of the
road. The key audience for this book is scholars of medieval
Britain (early and late) in all disciplines. Its theoretical
foundations will also ensure an audience among scholars of cultural
studies, especially those in urban studies, transport studies, and
economic history. -- .
