Contextualizing the Muslim Other in Medieval Christian Discourse

This volume broadens the perspective of recent work on the discourse of the Muslim Other in medieval Christendom by investigating pertinent texts, art, and artifacts in Armenian, Old Irish and Breton, Old Norse, Serbo-Croatian, Middle English, Old French, Middle High German, and Spanish culture. Contributors situate these local discourses of the Muslim Other in the larger cultural context of proto-Eurocentric discourse and make important modifications to the parochial Anglo-Franco-Latin mode of study.
