New Publication: A Plural Peninsula, ed. Antonella Liuzzo Scorpo

A Plural Peninsula: Studies in Honour of Professor Simon Barton, solely edited by Dr Antonella Liuzzo Scorpo (School of Humanities and Heritage) has just been published by Brill,
The Medieval Mediterranean Series, Volume: 138.

Focusing on textual, archaeological, visual and material culture, the sixteen studies in this volume (which include an introduction and a chapter by the editor, along with contributions by both senior and early career international scholars with expertise in different disciplines) offer new and important insights into the historical, socio-political and cultural dynamics characterising different, yet interconnected areas within Iberia and the Mediterranean.

The structural themes of this volume –the creation and manipulation of historical, historiographical and emotional narratives; changes and continuity in patterns of exchange, cross-fertilisation and the recovery of tradition; and the management of conflict, crisis, power and authority– are also particularly relevant for the postmedieval period, within and beyond Iberia.
