Medieval Spain

This volume of essays contains contributions from a very wide range of British, American and Spanish scholars. Its primary concern is the relationships between the various ethnic, cultural, regional and religious communities that co-existed in the Iberian peninsula in the later Middle Ages. Conflicts and mutual interactions between them are here explored in a range of both historical and literary studies, to expose something of the rich diversity of the cultural life of later medieval Spain.

'Over the past thirty years, late Medieval Spain , and late medieval Castile in particular, has engaged some of the best talent in the business, and Roger Collins and Anthony Goodman have recruited some of the brightest stars of that generation as contributors to this volume.' - Peter Lineham
