商品簡介
Transcultural experiences are few and far between in the Middle Ages and early modern times; not enough evidence has been sifted for clues, it has not been discovered, or it has simply been ignored. These twenty two essays help to make up for this lack, covering the many untold stories about connections and contacts, understandings and misunderstandings. Contributors offer a case of tricky historiography, visions of desire and an alternate Christendom in the Anglo-Saxon Wonders of the East, a case of an unholy Holy Land, and whether orientalism was its own worst enemy.
