A Knight at the Movies - Medieval History on Film (Hardcover)

A Knight at the Movies is an examination of the historical content of films depicting the medieval period from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. Historians increasingly feel the need to make reference to popular depictions of the past, since so much of the public's knowledge of history comes from popular mediums. Aberth dissects how each film interpreted the period, offering estimations of the historical accuracy of the works and demonstrating how they project their own contemporary era's obsessions and fears onto the past.
