The English IslesCultural Transmission and Political Conflict in Britain and Ireland, 1100–1500
Ed. Sean Duffy;Susan Foran
This collection of nine papers originated in a conference that offered new perspectives on the origins of England’s empire, the impact of English medieval imperialism, and the ways in which English cultural norms were transmitted to Ireland, Scotland and Wales after the Norman Conquest. Among the essay topics are 12th- and early 13th-century English views on kingship, Anglicization in medieval Ireland and post-medieval accounts of the Lordship of the Isles.
