The Merovingian Kingdoms and the Mediterranean World: Revisiting the Sources: Studies in Early Medieval History

Editat de Stefan Esders, Yitzhak Hen, Pia Lucas, Tamar Rotman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2022
This book explores the Merovingian kingdoms in Gaul within a broader Mediterranean context. Their politics and culture have mostly been interpreted in the past through a narrow local perspective, but as the papers in this volume clearly demonstrate, the Merovingian kingdoms had complicated and multi-layered political, religious, and socio-cultural relations with their Mediterranean counterparts, from Visigothic Spain in the West to the Byzantine Empire in the East, and from Anglo-Saxon England in the North to North-Africa in the South. The papers collected here provide new insights into the history of the Merovingian kingdoms by examining various relevant issues, ranging from identity formation to the shape and rules of diplomatic relations, cultural transformation, as well as voiced attitudes towards the "other". Each of the papers begins with a short excerpt from a primary source, which serves as a stimulus for the discussion of broader issues. The various sources' point of view and their contextualization stand at the heart of the analysis, thus ensuring that discussions are accessible to students and non-specialists, without jeopardizing the high academic standard of the debate.

Recenzii

[This] is an engaging and impressive collection. The essays are filled with sharp insights and an eager willingness to upend traditional interpretations that makes the reading enjoyable without weakening their scholarly gravitas.
The two absorbing volumes ... provide timely foundations for more integrated studies of the Merovingian Franks within a much broader cultural context ... provides a sound and much-needed first step, and these interventions bode well for the future of early medieval studies.
