• The Significance of the Frontier in the Middle Ages

  2017-05-15 · 9 citations

  book-chapter1st authorCorresponding

  Sober academics must perforce don the coonskin cap, as improbable Clint Eastwoods of the lecture hall, venturing onto their own frontiers. Historians have salvaged elements from the Thesis, rearranged in novel forms. Some have broadened the definition of frontier. Some have repudiated the Thesis so strenuously as to become, by a kind of reactive acculturation or polarity, negative versions of Turner himself. William Cronon has an appealing version of Turnerianism. Turnerism thus becomes a call to study 'human beings working with changing tools to transform the resources' of an opened region 'and defining their notions of political and cultural community' within 'a context of shifting environmental and economic restraints'. In the same long tradition of a medieval frontier, the eminent Hispanist Julian Bishko conducted pioneering courses on comparative medieval frontiers; his article in 1963 on the 'Medieval Ranching Frontier' is still considered a classic.

  This first major study of tax structure in pre-Renaissance Spain gives new insight into the condition of the conquered people of postcrusade Valencia. Drawing on tax records, it provides the reader with a fascinating glimpse of life among the thirteenth century Mudejars. By showing the financial links between a medieval ethnic enclave and the dominant society, the author illuminates aspects of intergroup relations that have previously been neglected. This volume is the second in the author's trilogy on Muslim society in Eastern Spain. Originally published in 1976.
