History and chronicles in medieval Iberia: Representations of Wamba in late medieval narrative histories

The preparation for the monograph required research into an extensive range of primary materials from a host of different sources (eighteen different medieval chronicles in multiple manuscripts from different libraries and archives were examined in detail). The resulting analysis draws on the tools of philology, history and narratology to provide a contextual account of the various re-writings of a key moment in Iberian history. The conceptual framework is therefore especially complex as it required secondary reading spanning a variety of theoretical fields in order to frame an innovative poetics of the medieval Iberian chronicle.
