Power, Identity and Miracles on a Medieval Frontier

A thriving port, a frontier base for the lords of Gower and a multi-cultural urban community, the south Wales town of Swansea was an important centre in the Middle Ages, at a nexus of multiple identities, cultural practices and configurations of power. This inter-disciplinary collection takes medieval Swansea as its starting point, to investigate questions of place, power, identity and belief in the Middle Ages. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Medieval History.
