Abstract | This is the first in a series of sessions under the heading of 'Borders and Borderlands in Medieval and Early Modern Europe'. The focus of this first session is on the borders of Wales, both its sea borders and the land border with England, multilingual regions where various cultural groups negotiated to promote their own particular interests. Papers in this session cover manuscript history, legal operations, religious communities, and border places, presenting three case studies in which concepts of cultural identity on the medieval Welsh border are formulated in relation to concepts of otherness. |
