Table of ContentsReviewsGlobal Perspectives on Early Medieval England lives up to its ambitious name. Collectively, the volume's essays remind readers repeatedly of the importance of perspective toward the formation of meaning, with each underscoring this fact by dislocating early medieval England from the Isles and posing it against international counterpoints, past and present. I praise the authors for their ability to tackle head-on several emergent challenges rooted in the premodern world, namely the contentions of identity, the ethics of propagation, and the rights and wrongs of conquest. These authors demonstrate how scholars of medieval letters, sciences, and cultures can collaborate to serve the general public, utilizing their expertise to elucidate the past, untangling its intricate presence. -- Sherif Abdelkarim, Grinnell College * The Medieval Review * Global Perspectives on Early Medieval England lives up to its ambitious name.
