This book is aimed at students coming to the study of western
European medieval history for the first time, and also graduate
students on interdisciplinary medieval studies programmes. It
examines the place of the Middle Ages in modern popular culture,
exploring the roots of the stereotypes that appear in films, on
television and in the press, and asking why they remain so
persistent. The book also asks whether 'medieval' is indeed a
useful category in terms of historical periodization. It
investigates some of the particular challenges posed by medieval
sources and the ways in which they have survived. And it concludes
with an exploration of the relevance of medieval history in today's
world.
