| Abstract | Modern scholarship's portrayal of the long 10th century has often suffered due to its position between the Carolingian era and pontificate of Gregory VII. These two interlinked sessions seek to contribute to the growing reassessment of this period's political and cultural histories. Each of the papers explores different elements of 10th century culture with a geographic focus on the East Frankish and Italian kingdoms. These sessions investigate a series of relationships including those between aristocratic peers, rulers, and their subjects, writers and their audiences, and communities and their pasts. These sessions hope to provide a forum in which scholars can engage with some of the issues at the heart of the ongoing reassessment of this intriguing period in history. |
