N2 - This book is one of the most challenging and thought-provoking that I have read for a while. The volume has its genesis in the ‘special strand’ of ‘Otherness’ at the 2017 International Medieval Congress, Leeds, UK. The book contains the four keynote lectures (by Sylvia Huot, Nikolas Jaspert, Eduardo Manzano Morena, and Felicitas Schmieder), together with fourteen other papers from the conference ‘special strand’. The papers range across different geographical areas (extending beyond Europe) and use a variety of primary sources. They are written by contributors from different disciplines, who bring a range of methodological approaches to their task. The book’s challenge lies in both the concept of ‘Otherness’ and the breadth of the research presented. [End Page 257]
