Bibliography

Reviews

A welcome addition to the growing list of titles re-examining the vitally important conceptual links between literature and the sea.
*INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MARITIME HISTORY*

[A] valuable addition to our understanding of medieval notions of Englishness and of England [...] demonstrates that English identity is and was a constant struggle against the pull of land and ocean alike, a hybrid existence at the edge of earth and water.

A well-produced, well-written and well-conceived volumes. [...] Medievalists of all disciplines will find something of interest here.
