Experiencing Landscapes: A Study of Space & Identity in Three Marginal Areas of Medieval Britain & Scandinavia (Lund Studies in Medieval Archaeology, 31) - Softcover
Synopsis
Experiencing Landscapes is a study of new ways of exploring the medieval landscapes of south-west Britain and Scania (southern Sweden) building on recent developments in prehistoric archaeology and social theory. Its main focus is the idea of marginality, which is approached through a series of innovative studies which focus on the ways in which the medieval landscape was perceived. It compares the perceptions of outsiders with those of the local inhabitants and takes account of features of the natural topography as well as the remains of more ancient - usually prehistoric - settlements. The study makes effective use of documentary sources, field surveys, excavations, folklore and place names and it builds on some original fieldwork in each of the study areas.
