The election of fringe political parties on the far and extreme
right across Europe since spring 2014 has brought the political
discourse of "old Europe" and "tradition" to the foreground.
Writers and politicians on the right have called for the
reclamation, rediscovery, and return of the spirit of national
identities rooted in the medieval past. Though the "medieval" is
often deployed as a stigmatic symbol of all that is retrograde,
against modernity, and barbaric, the medieval is increasingly being
sought as a bedrock of tradition, heritage, and identity. Both
characterizations - the medieval as violent other and the medieval
as vital foundation - are mined and studied in this book. It
examines contemporary political uses of the Middle Ages to ask why
the medieval continues to play such a prominent role in the
political and historical imagination today.
