| Abstract | 25 years ago, in 1993, Paul Edward Dutton's Carolingian Civilization: A Reader was published, followed the next year by The Politics of Dreaming in the Carolingian Empire in 1994. Taken together, these works reframed how we study the Carolingian world and changed the landscape of the discipline. A generation of students and early career scholars drew inspiration from Dutton, developing their own ways of traveling the various pathways that he had illuminated. Now, 25 years later, the aim of these two panels will be to take stock of the enduring impact of these seminal works. The first session of this series will focus on the reign of Louis the Pious, while the second will consider the period after 840. |
