About this title

Synopsis

This fascinating volume brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including literary studies, history, geography, and archaeology, to investigate questions of space, place, and identity in the medieval city. Using medieval Chester as a case study—with attention to its location on the border between England and Wales, its rich multilingual culture, and its surviving infrastructure—these contributions recover the experience of medieval city living and in doing so provide fresh perspectives and generate new questions about urban space both during this period and beyond.
