How is the medieval world depicted today? Two German museums serve
as case studies for a vibrant, imaginative, and provocative
enactment of twenty-first century medievalism: the Museum Wolfram
von Eschenbach in Wolframs Eschenbach (1995) and the Nibelung
Museum in Worms (2001). Emerging around the turn of the 20th
century, the museums explore medieval German literature, cultural
memory and local history. As the museums reconstruct and transform
medieval narratives for the contemporary audience, they enact the
process of medievalism: they reveal how memory, through the lens of
the middle ages, shapes modern cultural identity and heritage.
Medieval Literature on Display thereby contributes to important
conversations about medievalism's role in constructing and
affirming cultural identity, in conceptualizing and finding places
for the future of the past. This unique book is vital reading for
scholars of medieval literature and historians of medieval Europe,
as well as scholars of visual culture and museum studies.
