The Cambridge Guide to Global Medieval Travel Writing
The Middle Ages laid the foundations for the long European and Middle Eastern history of voyaging, colonialism, and expansion: the Papal embassies that took over a year of overland travel to reach Mongolia, Ibn Battuta's thirty years of voyaging to Africa and East Asia, or the arrival of European colonialism in the Americas. With a focus on medieval Europe, this is the first book to cover global medieval travel writing from Iceland to Indonesia, …
Tensions of Geography
This article examines geography in relation to religious identity in two fourteenth-century romances, Floris and Blancheflour and Chaucer's Man of Law's Tale, in order to demonstrate how instabilities of difference underscore the very process of racialization that constitutes the romance genre's logic of imperialist fantasy. Ambivalence and uncertainty, rather than steadfast assertions of oppositional difference, furnish the discursive terms thro…

The Mongol Princess of Tars
This essay examines the racial formation of Mongols in The King of Tars, a fourteenth-century Middle English romance, in relation to the Syrian geopolitics and Latin European historiographical records that inspired its composition. Because the romance features overt instances of racialized physiognomy, such as skin color changing across confessional lines and the normalization of whiteness for the Christian body, scholars have overlooked how race…
