Britain and its Neighbours delves into captivating instances and epochs of cultural interaction and exchanges between communities in Britain and those in other regions of Europe spanning from approximately 500 to 1700. Collectively, the twelve in-depth case studies shed light on specific facets of cultural contact and exchange, while also presenting previously overlooked factors, uncovering hitherto unseen evidence, and introducing innovative methodological approaches. The discussions draw from a diverse array of disciplines, including archaeology, history, art history, iconography, literature, linguistics, and legal history, to shed new light on the multifaceted expressions of the enduring and diverse relations between Britain and its neighbouring regions. Chronologically organized, the volume highlights the consistent and enduring social, cultural, and intellectual connections between Britain and Continental Europe throughout a millennium.

Britain and its Neighbours serves as a valuable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars alike, with a particular interest in cultural and intellectual studies and the rich history of Britain's longstanding connections to Europe.
