Late Antique and Early Medieval Iberia
About the Book Series
This series aims to offer a home for intellectually vibrant and methodologically innovative studies of late antique and early medieval Iberian societies and cultures. By ranging from the end of the Roman empire in Hispania to the fall of the Caliphate of Córdoba in the early eleventh century, the series embraces myriad perspectives, subjects and approaches, thereby providing a holistic overview of a period and place that was for too long neglected by specialist scholarship. Submissions would be welcome on any aspect of: the enduring legacy of Romanitas; the development of the post-Roman ‘Germanic’ kingdoms; the emergence of a dominant Islamic power in the peninsula after 711 and the cross-confessional society to which it gave rise; the society, economy and political apparatus of the Christians kingdoms of the north.
Please contact Dorothea Schaefter, Publisher at Routledge ([email protected]) to submit a proposal or to find out more about the series.
