A variety of questions are raised regarding the derivation of information about Britain and Ireland, the considerations behind their use in literary contexts and the political situations which often led to this use. Consummately researched, the text contains numerous quotations and abundant notes, together with appendices and a detailed bibliography. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in medieval French literature and the literary-historical relationship between France and its neighbours.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e 1.
