| Description: |
This is a study of the effects of cross-cultural contact and confrontation on frontier societies, particularly those between England and Scotland, Wales and Ireland, Castille and Granada, and on the Elbe. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first study of the nature of frontiers and frontier society in the Middle Ages. Focusing on the frontiers between England and Scotland, Wales, and Ireland; between Castile and Grenada; and on the Elbe, the book examines the consequences for frontier societies of being located in areas of cross-cultural contact and confrontation. This comparative study by expert contributors throws new light on our thinking about frontiers, and fills a major gap in the history of medieval Europe. |
