Essays on the discipline of medieval history and its practitioners,
from the late eighteenth century onwards. A hugely interesting set
of essays, reflecting on a variety of ways in which medieval
history has developed to the present time. Scholarship of the
highest standard, deeply thought-provoking and deeply engaged with
the inheritances and future tasks of medieval academic history. The
collection will be essential reading for all medievalists. John
Arnold, Professor of Medieval History, University of Cambridge.
Medieval history is present in manyforms in our world. Monuments
from the Middle Ages or inspired by them are a familiar feature of
landscapes across Europe and beyond; the period between the end of
the Roman Empire in Western Europe and the Reformation and European
expansion is an essential part of our imagination, be it conveyed
through literature, the arts, science fiction or even video games;
it is also commonly invoked in political debates. Specialists in
the field have played a majorrole in shaping modern perceptions of
the era. But little is known about the factors that have influenced
them and their work. The essays in this volume provide original
insights into the fabric and dissemination of medieval history as a
scholarly discipline from the late eighteenth century onwards. The
case-studies range from the creation of specific images of the
Middle Ages to the ways in which medievalists have dealt with
European identity, contributed to making and deconstructing myths
and, more specifically, addressed questions relating to land and
frontiers as well as to religion. GRAHAM A. LOUD is Professor of
Medieval History at the University of Leeds;MARTIAL STAUB is
Professor of Medieval History at the University of Sheffield.
