Anglo-Norman Political Culture and the Twelfth Century Renaissance

The twelfth-century renaissance though usually seen as a French phenomenon produced fundamental changes in the culture and politics of the wider Anglo-Norman world. The essays in this volume by leadingscholars in this field meeting at La Bretesche Brittany in 1995 explore the impact of this change. Covering a variety of topics including the transmission of Norman saints' cults vernacular history and aristocratic values and shifting modes of death and dying they have in common the elements of change and transformation occurring throughout society during the course of the Anglo-Norman era.
