Their writings reveal substantial interest in Europe, Asia, and Africa while they situated themselves firmly within Christian Europe. They drew many ideas from textual sources and filled out their conceptions from their own travels and interactions with visitors. Chronicles, histories, poetry, homilies, saints' lives, and occasionally maps tell of peoples and lands from the British Isles to their near neighbors in Scandinavia to such distant places as Jerusalem, North Africa, and India. They also imagined geographies that veered into the fantastic and vividly depicted hell, purgatory, and heaven. This Element provides insights about early medieval English who were engaged deeply in a variety of modes with other parts of their world. Both the connections and the divisions they constructed still have impact today." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Geography in literature. 650 0 $a Geography, Medieval, in literature. 650 0 $a Travel in literature. 700 1 $a Estes, Heide $q (Heide Ruth), $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Discenza, Nicole Guenther, 1969- $t Writing the world in early medieval England. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2023 $z 9781108943147 $w (OCoLC)1398334635 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in England in the early medieval world. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D80D0C3CC19D11EEA89D2B6520ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
