Britain and its Neighbours

Britain and its Neighbours explores instances and periods of cultural contact and exchanges between communities in Britain with those in other parts of Europe between c. 500 and 1700. Collectively the twelve case studies highlight certain aspects of cultural contact and exchange and present neglected factors previously overlooked evidence and new methodological approaches. The discussions draw from a broad range of disciplines including archaeology history art history iconography literature linguistics and legal history in order to shine new light on a multi-faceted variety of expressions of the equally diverse and long-standing relations between Britain and its neighbours. Organised chronologically the volume accentuates the consistency and continuity of social cultural and intellectual connections between Britain and Continental Europe in a period that spans over a millennium. With its range of specialised topics Britain and its Neighbours is a useful resource for undergraduates postgraduates and scholars interested in cultural and intellectual studies and the history of Britainâs long-standing connections to Europe. .
