Description

This panel seeks to examine the role that a global community played in the medieval period, broadly addressing the issue of cultural interaction and how we may interpret cultural transmission in literary texts. Papers may consider kingship and political organization, geographical peripheries of Europe, and the transmission of ideas across national and cultural lines.
