Medievalism, the later reception of the Middle Ages, has been used
by many writers, not just during the Victorian period but from the
Renaissance to the present, as a means of commenting on their own
societies and systems of values. Until recently, this self-interest
was used to distinguish between Medievalism, a selective, often
romanticised, view of the past, and medieval studies, with its
quest for an authentic Middle Ages. The essays in this collection
suggest that the search for knowledge of a "real" Middle Ages has
always been a problematic one, and that the vitality of the vision
of Medievalism is demonstrated by its constant adaption to current
concerns.
