History and Community: Norman Historical Writing in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries

By Leah Shopkow

This study of the tradition of historical writing the Normans created offers an insight into the nature of Latin historical writing in the 11th and 12th centuries. It treats the Norman tradition as a whole, considering not only what the Normans wrote and what methods and models they used, but also what purpose history served in Normandy and who read it.
