Does anyone have links to good discussion about using anachronistic terminology within medieval studies? I’m being potentially challenged on using early medieval Ireland/Scotland/England but honestly any other terminology at this stage is too general for me. #MedievalTwitter
I am aware of the discussion, I have been following it closely. In Ireland and by Irish scholars I am being heavily challenged by my terminology for a England esp so I wanted some general justification for using it plus Ireland and Scotland (terms even more anachronistic)

Oh, I know you're aware! Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you haven't been in the conversation. It's all part of the same bigger convo, isn't it? And it's tricky to navigate these kinds of criticisms.

It's a slightly different angle, but I also like what
@julieorlemanski says about what she calls "arguably anachronistic scholarship" that uses contemporary theory/terminology, in her recent piece about fictionality in@NewLitHist. - Show replies

On top of wanting to not use Anglo-Saxon anymore, I need to generally discuss why we use anachronistic terminology sometimes.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
