Medieval Cologne

More about the book

The book explores the historical narratives in Anglophone literature, highlighting the neglect of medieval Germany in favor of Anglo-French, Anglo-Low Countries, and Anglo-Italian frameworks. It critiques the tendency to view German contributions as peripheral and irrelevant, while also examining how German Rhineland scholars have focused primarily on civic public history and academic discourse. This analysis aims to bridge the gap between these perspectives, offering a more inclusive understanding of historical development across cultures.
