Making Christian Landscapes in Atlantic Europe

The topic of the volume covers one of the most dramatic changes in the history of Western Europe - the conversion to Christianity. This volume addresses through a series of case-studies along the Atlantic seaboard, issues relating to the changing physical as well as mental landscapes of Early Medieval Europe at this time. The case-studies are well chosen and illuminate various aspects of the process of conversion to Christianity, which is a real strength of the volume. The explicit focus on the impact that the new religion had on landscapes positions the volume well within landscape studies and it will no doubt be an important stimulus to future research of landscapes in Early Christian Europe. ~Dr Stefan Bergh, NUI Galway
