Writing the World in Early Medieval England, co-written by Nicole Guenther Discenza and Heide Estes, is out today from Cambridge UP and open access for the next two weeks, through 22 September. The early medieval English were diverse and well connected to the broader world. Their historical, documentary, liturgical and literary writings reveal substantial interest in Europe, Asia, and Africa; in addition to textual sources, they traveled abroad and interacted with visitors to England. The connections as well as the divisions they constructed still have impact today. Writing the World would be an excellent supplement for courses on early medieval England and/or Europe and will interest scholars seeking an overview of the way a wide range of texts described the world they knew and imagined.
