Essays looking at the links between England and Europe in the long
thirteenth century. The theme running through this volume is that
of "England in Europe", with contributions tackling aspects of
political, religious, cultural and urban history, placing England
in a European context, exploring connections between the insular
world and continental Europe, and using England as a case study of
broader patterns of change in the long thirteenth century. A number
of authors consider the long-term response of the English crown and
polity to the Angevin empire's demise, examining kingship,
historical memory, dynastic relationships and the influx of ideas
and people to England from overseas. They look not only at
connections between England and western Europe but also at others
extending to northern Europe too. Many engage with larger trends
that are European in scale, whether in the institutional life of
the Church or in patterns of religious practice and belief, whilst
others examine more confined geographical spaces, reminding us of
distinctive political structures and identities lodged at the
regional level.
