Description

Explore the complex connections between religious, racial, and national identity in the medieval West with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book focuses on how depictions of Muslims in 1330s England helped shape and advance English national identity. While these historical portrayals were often inaccurate, they played a significant role in the social and cultural landscape of the era. By analyzing the Saracen characters found within the famous Auchinleck Manuscript, the text provides a deep look into a variety of medieval writings. Readers will find detailed discussions on hagiographic legends, expanded chronicle entries, and popular romances featuring legendary figures like Charlemagne and King Arthur. This study is an essential resource for those interested in medieval history, social identity, and the evolution of English culture during the 14th century.
