The main focus in this second collection by Walter Goffart is on two types of historiography"early medieval narratives, with special attention to Bede's Historia ecclesiastica and printed maps designed to portray and teach history, with special attention to the ubiquitous 'map of the barbarian invasions'. The wide-ranging concerns represented extend from the underside of the Life of St Severinus of Noricum, and further evidence for dating Beowulf, to the questions whether the barbarian invasions period was a 'heroic age' and how Charlemagne shaped his own succession. The volume closes with a section of further thoughts on the essays reprinted.
