Lindy Brady

Writing the Welsh borderlands in Anglo-Saxon England

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An ambitious book which argues that the March of Wales, as it existed as a legally defined space in the period after 1066, had a long pre-history as a place of encounter and interchange from the early Anglo-Saxon period. It is argued that this frontier space was not inevitably a zone of ethnic conflict, but one where hybrid identities could exist.
