Descrizione The Linguistic Past in Twelfth-Century Britain
This study discusses how depictions of etymology and ancient documents were employed by twelfth-century poets, translators, bureaucrats and historians to portray Britain's past. A series of detailed case studies demonstrate how the vernacular hence became an important site for the construction of dynastic, institutional and ethnic identities.
