Description

This scholarly work by Routledge explores how medieval English identity was shaped through depictions of Muslims and religious discourse in the 1330s. Drawing on the Auchinleck Manuscript, a text celebrated for its diverse collection, the book examines how Saracen characters appeared across hagiographic legends, chronicle elaborations, and popular romances featuring Charlemagne, Arthur, and English heroes. Though historically inaccurate, these portrayals reveal how religious and racial representations functioned to construct and reinforce emerging concepts of English national identity during the medieval period. The analysis demonstrates the intricate relationship between religious otherness, national consciousness, and cultural narratives in medieval England, offering valuable insights into how identity categories were negotiated and established through literary and historical texts.
