Essays on the post-modern reception and interpretation of the
middle ages, with a particular focus on its relationship with
business and finance. Academia has never been immune to corporate
culture, and despite the persistent association of medievalism with
escapism, perhaps never has that been more obvious than at the
present moment. The six essays that open the volume explore
precisely how financial institutions have promoted, distorted,
appropriated, resisted, and repudiated post-medieval
interpretations of the middle ages. In the second part of the book,
contributors explore medievalism in a variety of areas, juxtaposing
specific case studies with broader investigations of the
discipline's motives and methods; they include Charles Kingsley's
racial Anglo-Saxonism, Jessie L. Weston's Sir Gawain and the
treatment of womenin medievalist film. The book also includes a
spirited response to previous Studies in Medievalism volumes on the
topic neomedievalism. Contributors: Harry Brown, Henrik Aubert,
Helen Brookman, Pamela Clements, KellyAnnFitzpatrick, Jil Hanifan,
