Abstract | This first of four sessions explores concepts of Carolingian identity in the heyday and 'decline' of the Carolingian empire. Considering individual authors and texts, the four papers each take a different perspective on their subjects to pose questions considering authority in narrative and the role of using the past, the varied impulses that provoked the composition of texts, and what it meant to be Carolingian. |
