Medievalism - the creative interpretation or recreation of the
European Middle Ages - has had a major presence in the cultural
memory of the modern West, and has grown in scale to become a
global phenomenon. Countless examples across aesthetic, material
and political domains reveal that the medieval period has long
provided a fund of images and ideas that have been vital to
defining 'the modern'. Bringing together local, national and global
examples and tracing medievalism's unpredictable course from early
modern poetry to contemporary digital culture, this authoritative
Companion offers a panoramic view of the historical, aesthetic,
ideological and conceptual dimensions of this phenomenon. It
showcases a range of critical positions and approaches to
discussing medievalism, from more 'traditional' historicist and
close-reading practices through to theoretically engaged methods.
It also acquaints readers with key terms and provides them with a
sophisticated conceptual vocabulary for discussing the medieval
afterlife in the modern.
