Since its invention by Renaissance humanists, the myth of the
"Middle Ages" has held a uniquely important place in the Western
historical imagination. Whether envisioned as an era of lost
simplicity or a barbaric nightmare, the medieval past has always
served as a mirror for modernity. This book gives an eye-opening
account of the ways various political and intellectual
projects-from nationalism to the discipline of anthropology-have
appropriated the Middle Ages for their own ends. Deploying an
interdisciplinary toolkit, author K. Patrick Fazioli grounds his
analysis in contemporary struggles over power and identity in the
Eastern Alps, while also considering the broader implications for
scholarly research and public memory.
