In the last two decades; research on spatial paradigms and practices has gained momentum across disciplines and vastly different periods; including the field of medieval studies. Responding to this ‘spatial turn’ in the humanities; the essays collected here generate new ideas about how medieval space was defined; constructed; and practiced in Europe; particularly in France. Essays are grouped thematically and in three parts; from specific sites; through the broader shaping of territory by means of socially constructed networks; to the larger geographical realm. The resulting collection builds on existing scholarship but brings new insight; situating medieval constructions of space in relation to contemporary conceptions of the subject.

I think there are too many locations in the book; and the space each city or festival is really small. Maybe it could be a possibility to focus on few locations (Adelaide; Stavanger; London for example) and produce a more detailed guide.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
