Synopsis

The Norman Conquest brought about great change in England: new customs, a new language, and new political and ecclesiastical hierarchies. It also saw the emergence of an Anglo-Norman intellectual culture, with an innate curiosity in the past. This collection sheds new light on the perceptions and uses of the pre-Conquest past in post-Conquest historiography. Essays examine the practice of history-writing in this period and how identities could be constructed in reference to this past.
