Beer and Brewing in Medieval Culture and Contemporary Medievalism
is a cross-cultural analysis of the role that alcohol consumption
played in literature, social and cultural history, and gender roles
in the Middle Ages. The volume also seeks to correct or offer new
insights into historical beer production. By drawing on the
expertise of scholars of history, archaeology, Old and Middle
English, Old Norse, and Medieval and Early Modern literature, the
book shows how historical medieval beer and brewing has influenced
nostalgic post-medieval nationalism and romanticized visions of the
medieval ale-house seen in beer marketing today. The essays
describe alcohol consumption in the Middle Ages across much of
Northern Europe, engage with the various myths employed in modern
craft beer advertising and beer production, and examine how gender
intersects with beer production and consumption. The editors also
raise certain critical questions about medievalisms which need to
be interrogated, particularly in light of the continued use of the
Middle Ages for white supremacist and colonialist ideals. The
volume contributes to the study of the popular and historical
understandings of the Middle Ages as well the issues of race and
gender.
