The medieval film genre is not, in general, concerned with
constructing a historically accurate past, but much analysis
nonetheless centers on highlighting anachronisms. This book aims to
help scholars and aficionados of medieval film think about how the
re-creation of an often mythical past performs important cultural
work for modern directors and viewers. The essays in this
collection demonstrate that directors intentionally insert modern
preoccupations into a setting that would normally be considered
incompatible with these concepts. The Middle Ages provide an
imaginary space far enough removed from the present day to explore
modern preoccupations with human identity.
