| Abstract | This session employs the city as a lens through which to consider questions of communication and the formation, dissemination, and use of ideas during the High Middle Ages. Urban communities encompassed a multiplicity of cultural, social, spatial, and economic experiences; by discussing three forms of intellectual and political communication within three different cities, the papers in this session provide the opportunity to take London, Rome, and Paris as points of comparison. Together, they will contribute to contemporary understandings of the high medieval city, exploring the diversity of communication and contextualising the transmission of ideas within such complex and multifaceted settings. |
