This collection brings together twelve essays published between
1988 and 2014, two of which are here translated into English from
(respectively) their original French or German. All the essays use
gender as the main category of analysis, whether of late ancient or
early medieval texts or of modern medievalist films. The historical
studies of medieval Europe emphasize the use of manuscript-level
evidence, that is, actual sources from the period in question;
arguably, this approach provides a more accurate understanding of
the period than does work done on the basis of printed and edited
sources. Furthermore, many of the manuscript-based essays
specifically exploit liturgical or liturgy-adjacent materials; this
is an area of research and a type of manuscript that has rarely
been approached through a gendered lens. Meanwhile, the cinematic
medievalism essays focus on the processes of remediation and
adaptation, searching specifically for points at which filmmaking
teams diverged from their sources as evidence for the main goals of
the films (while also attending to production contexts and to
reception). The juxtaposition in a single collection of scholarship
on medieval manuscripts and modern movies illustrates how period
specialists can contribute to conversations in the field of
(historical) film studies. The book will be of interest to
historians of women, gender, Christian liturgy, medieval Europe,
medievalism, and historical film.
