After Charlemagne Carolingian Italy and its Rulers
'This collection of papers by leading international experts gives access to the immense cultural productivity and textual richness of Carolingian Italy, to its manifold regional traditions and to its continuous openness to external influence.' Stefan Esders, Freie Universität Berlin
'Gantner and Pohl have assembled a star-studded international cast to investigate the distinctiveness of ninth-century Italy. In challenging the very notion of 'Carolingian' Italy', this book offers rigorous and stimulating new interpretations of the narrative, documentary and manuscript sources concerning the politics, society and culture of Italy under Carolingian rule.' Rosamond McKitterick, University of Cambridge
'In the rich historiography on the Carolingians, less attention has in the past been paid to Italy; but now high-quality work is being done. This book brings that work together exceptionally well. It assembles the major experts on Carolingian Italy, and shows an exciting range of new approaches. All early medievalists will need to read it.' Chris Wickham, University of Oxford
'Highly recommended.' G. I. Halfond, Choice
'… the volume implements a series of well-documented research studies using various sources and methodologies, and is able to offer a unanimous answer to the question: a Carolingian Italy did indeed exist …' Julia Zornetta, Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken
