Definitions of key words and terms for the study of medievalism.
The discipline of medievalism has produced a great deal of
scholarship acknowledging the "makers" of the Middle Ages: those
who re-discovered the period from 500 to 1500 by engaging with its
cultural works, seeking inspiration from them, or fantasizing about
them. Yet such approaches - organized by time period, geography, or
theme - often lack an overarching critical framework. This volume
aims to provide such a framework, by calling into question the
problematic yet commonly accepted vocabulary used in Medievalism
Studies. The contributions, by leading scholars in the field,
define and exemplify in a lively and accessible style the essential
terms used when speaking of the later reception of medieval
culture. The terms: Archive, Authenticity, Authority, Christianity,
Co-disciplinarity, Continuity, Feast, Genealogy, Gesture, Gothic,
Heresy, Humor, Lingua, Love, Memory, Middle, Modernity, Monument,
Myth, Play, Presentism, Primitive, Purity, Reenactment, Resonance,
Simulacrum, Spectacle, Transfer, Trauma, Troubadour Elizabeth Emery
