The essays in this important and fascinating collection explore
the genealogical literature of medieval Britain and France in
relation to issues of identity, the transmission of power, and
cultural, socio-political, and economic developments. By analyzing
the mechanics of cultural and political inheritance and the
processes of shaping a sense of identity and descent, the essays in
this volume direct the reader towards a complex understanding of
genealogical literature and its relationships with other genres,
one which will further debate and research in these areas. The
present collection presents an interdisciplinary approach to the
genealogical literature of the late-medieval period, and brings
together specialists in the fields of history, cultural history and
literature to raise questions of gender, genre, and theoretical
approaches. Broken Lines is also the first book-length
study of genealogical literature to date, an exciting intervention
into this emerging field of interest.
