Identity and Community in the Chronicles of Matthew Paris

本笃会修士马修巴黎是世纪最知名的政治记录者和评论家之一。马太以维护英国人的共同体而闻名，但这实际上意味着什么？该项目将利用跨学科的方法，通过整合身份的哲学理解，研究马修如何调用身份和社区意识在他的文本中的具体事件，以反映他的身份不断发展的理解，作为一个编年史家和英国人。这将使我们能够更好地追踪身份和政治社区的不断变化的智力发展。

Bendictine monk Matthew Paris was one of the most recognisable, recorders of and commentators on the politics of the 13th century. Matthew famously upheld the community of the English but, what does that actually mean? This project will utilise an interdisciplinary approach by integrating philosophical understandings of identity to examine how Matthew invokes identity and a sense of community in specific incidents in his texts to reflect his evolving understanding of his identity, as a chronicler and as an Englishman. This will enable us to better trace the shifting intellectual development of identities and political communities.
