| Abstract | The areas often described as the Carolingian peripheries, whether the term is interpreted politically or culturally, are vitally important to understanding how post-Carolingian centres of power changed and transformed in the later ninth and tenth centuries. The three papers here all consider the transmission of culture and memory through varied methodologies and perspectives, but are unified by their focus on the porous boundaries of knowledge, culture and identity that define this period. |
