From Medievalism to Early-Modernism: Adapting the English Past is a
collection of essays that both analyses the historical and cultural
medieval and early modern past, and engages with the medievalism
and early-modernism-a new term introduced in this
collection-present in contemporary popular culture. By focusing on
often overlooked uses of the past in contemporary culture-such as
the allusions to John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi (1623) in J.K.
Rowling's Harry Potter books, and the impact of intertextual
references and internet fandom on the BBC's The Hollow Crown: The
Wars of the Roses-the contributors illustrate how cinematic,
televisual, artistic, and literary depictions of the historical and
cultural past not only re-purpose the past in varying ways, but
also build on a history of adaptations that audiences have come to
know and expect. From Medievalism to Early-Modernism: Adapting the
English Past analyses the way that the medieval and early modern
periods are used in modern adaptations, and how these adaptations
both reflect contemporary concerns, and engage with a history of
intertextuality and intervisuality.
