This paper aims to gain analytical, interpretive, and narrative purchase on the ‘global middle ages’. It will query its usefulness – in terms of temporal, geographical and topical boundaries – by exploring conceptualisations of historical periodisation.
It will do so with particular reference to claims for ‘modernity’ characteristically grounded in a construct of the ‘medieval’ that have tended to identify global history as a peculiarly modern phenomenon.
Speaker: Simon Yarrow
