Abstract | Focusing specifically on issues of dispute and conflict in the 10th- and 11th-century English and German realms, this session examines both the problems and possibilities of comparative history. In shifting the focus away from the comparisons so often drawn between England and France (or, for that matter, Germany and France), it seeks to challenge notions of English or German exceptionalism and open the way for a more open dialogue between historians of the two regions. |
