Matthew Innes

Matthew’s research has ranged widely over the history of western Europe from the end of the Roman Empire to the eleventh century. He has published on intellectual and political history, particularly of the Carolingian Empire which dominated western Europe in the eighth to tenth centuries; but his particular specialisms are in the history of economic and social transformation, and the cultural history of the ways in which communities utilise the past to make sense of the present. His publications and research cover post-Roman western Europe, and Anglo-Saxon England, as well as the Carolingian and post-Carolingian periods in continental western Europe.
