| Abstract | Scholars have long been resisting the temptation to think of the history of Britain in this period as a precursor to the development of three territorial nations - the kingdoms of England and Scotland and the principality of Wales - and to think in terms of concrete linguistic, ethnic, or political borders. Continuing that tradition, these sessions will consider the varieties of boundary making and breaking that were in play amongst the peoples of Middle Britain. Individual papers will address the making and transgressing of boundaries through the evidence for language, production, exchange, costume, monumentality, law, religious beliefs, and memory. |
