Borders and the Politics of Space in Late Medieval Italy - Zenobi, Dr Luca (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Edinburgh)

Space matters. It situates our history, structures our daily lives, and often determines what we can and cannot do. Borders are central to this reality. This book explores how borders were understood, made, and encountered at the end of the Middle Ages, and what they can tell us about the spatial fabric of society at the threshold of modernity.
