The Continuity of the Conquest by Wendy Marie Hoofnagle
An interdisciplinary study examining the origins of Anglo-Norman views of kingship in idealized interpretations of Charlemagne's imperium. Demonstrates how the idea of Englishness developed in the Middle Ages as much as a consequence of the Anglo-Norman imagination and experience as a reaction against it.“The Continuity of the Conquest further expands the horizons of an already expanding body of work on the medieval Charlemagne legendThat Frankish king and emperor loomed large in the imaginations of the Anglo-Normans, in ways both tacit and explicit. Wendy Hoofnagle forces us to reconceptualize what we think we know about Englishness, and indeed England itself, in the central Middle Ages.”
—Matthew Gabriele, Virginia Tech
“In The Continuity of the Conquest, Wendy Hoofnagle presents a wide-ranging and learned study that will be an important contribution to a variety of fields within medieval studies and beyond.”
—Anne Latowsky, University of South Florida
“Landscape and architecture; mythmaking and historical writing; imperial expansion and the ideology of kingship: all of these themes are addressed in ways which will offer new perspectives and which are sure to be thought-provoking to scholars of the Anglo-Norman era.”
—Lindsay Diggelmann Parergon
