Studies in the Medieval Atlantic is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that answers the question: what did the Atlantic Ocean mean to medieval north Europeans? Contributors analyze the Atlantic Ocean of the seventh to sixteenth centuries through literary, environmental, and historical approaches, studying it as an area that transcended ethnic or political boundaries. Covering exciting topics such as the influence of the oceanic landscape on the Irish imagination; Basques, English, and Scandinavian whaling rivalries; Norse understanding of oceanography, law and 'Thing-mounds' in Scandinavian colonies; logistical considerations for armies around the Atlantic; and the Spanish decisions to pursue an Atlantic or Mediterranean empire, this collection advances the argument that the region was a sub-community with its own culture and commerce.
