Anniversary Collection: Text and Territory (Hardcover)

Twelve diverse investiations of the ways in which space and place are politically, religiously and culturally inflected', exploring a wide range of medieval texts.

Twelve literary scholars and historians investigate the ways in which space and place are politically, religiously, and culturally inflected. Exploring medieval texts as diverse as Icelandic sagas, Ptolemy's Geography, and Mandeville's Travels, the contributors illustrate the intimate connection between geographical conceptions and the mastery of land, the assertion of doctrine, and the performance of sexuality.
