This open access book brings together an international team of
experts, The Middle Ages in Modern Culture considers the use of
medieval models across a variety of contemporary media - ranging
from television and film to architecture - and the significance of
deploying an authentic medieval world to these representations.
Rooted in this question of authenticity, this interdisciplinary
study addresses three connected themes. Firstly, how does
historical accuracy relate to authenticity, and whose version of
authenticity is accepted? Secondly, how are the middle ages
presented in modern media and why do inaccuracies emerge and
persist in these works? Thirdly, how do creators of modern content
attempt to produce authentic medieval environments, and what are
the benefits and pitfalls of accurate portrayals? The result is
nuanced study of medieval culture which sheds new light on the use
(and misuse) of medieval history in modern media. This book is open
access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded
by Knowledge Unlatched.
