The Chronicle of Seert

With an approach that broadly aligns with Rosamond McKittericks interpretation of Frankish royal annals as evidence for the Carolingian historical imagination, Woods study successfully demonstrates how the tenth-century chroniclers selfunderstanding as a member of a religious minority gave expression to a Christian historical imagination in the East that is just as fascinating and worthy of study as that of his Latin Christian cousins in the West.
