| Abstract | This session examines the construction of memory and identity at Canterbury in the 11th-13th centuries through the prisms of medieval historiography, literature, and book history. Canterbury was a leading cultural center during this time, and its standing owed a great deal to the work and the legacy of influential figures such as the historian Eadmer, the archbishop Anselm, and Eadwine, called the 'prince of scribes'. The papers in this session examine that work and legacy, focussing on Eadmer's treatment of the Norman Conquest, William of Malmesbury's account of Anselm, and the trilingual Eadwine Psalter, a manuscript produced at Canterbury. |
