<P><EM>Britain and its Neighbours</EM> explores instances and periods of cultural contact and exchanges between communities in Britain with those in other parts of Europe between <EM>c</EM>.500 and 1700. </P>
<P>Collectively, the twelve case studies highlight certain aspects of cultural contact and exchange and present neglected factors, previously overlooked evidence, and new methodological approaches. The discussions draw from a broad range of disciplines including archaeology, history, art history, iconography, literature, linguistics, and legal history in order to shine new light on a multi-faceted variety of expressions of the equally diverse and long-standing relations between Britain and its neighbours. Organised chronologically, the volume accentuates the consistency and continuity of social, cultural, and intellectual connections between Britain and Continental Europe in a period that spans over a millennium. </P>
<P>With its range of specialised topics, <I>Britain and its Neighbours </I>is a useful resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars interested in cultural and intellectual studies and the history of Britain's long-standing connections to Europe. </P>
