Description

Explore the complex relationship between memory and history in medieval France with Rewriting Saints and Ancestors by Constance Brittain Bouchard. Published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, this scholarly work examines how thinkers between the 5th and 12th centuries reconceptualized the past to shape their present and future. Bouchard investigates how the stories of long-dead saints and the lineages of established dynasties served as essential tools for creative memory. By analyzing these ex post facto accounts, the book demonstrates that such interpretations are not barriers to accurate history, but are instead necessary for understanding the Middle Ages. This volume provides a deep look into how twelfth-century perspectives and earlier historical narratives helped define the social and religious landscape of France.
