About this title

Synopsis

Medieval Concepts of the Past shows how the history of the Middle Ages is being reshaped by leading medieval historians in Germany and the United States in light of cultural and social-scientific investigations into ritual, language, and memory. These two national traditions of medieval scholarship, which have been largely separated over the course of the twentieth century, are drawing closer together through a common interest in issues of social science and linguistic theory as applied to the representation of the past. This book marks a significant step in the reconvergence of these two historiographical traditions.

Review

"This book is extremely significant in two different ways. It represents the first large-scale collaboration of German and US medieval historians ever undertaken, and it focuses intelligently on subjects of significance in both historiographical traditions and of great interest to medieval and other historians.... All academic levels and collections." Choice

"Stimulating, engaging [...] It fulfills a valuable role in increasing dialogue between German and American scholars." Arthuriana

"[A] stimulating and thought-provoking collection." The Medieval Review
