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’ve seen ‘Atlantic archipelago’ used for these islands (not, i think, by medievalists); you’d have to explain why at first use of course. Why not ‘Ireland and Britain’? ‘Britain’ can be taken as a geographical and not a political or ethnic designation, no?

Britain as a geographical description is good, but then as it includes Wales and NE Scotland (which I don’t study) I wonder if it’s too broad? I used it for my paper title next week but it’s something I’ve been thinking about.
