Hollywood Knights examines Hollywood Arthuriana as political
nostalgia offered to American viewers during times of cultural
crisis: the red scare of the 1950s, the breakdown of traditional
authority in the 1960s and 1970s, the turn to the right in the
1980s and the redemption of masculine and national authority in the
1990s. Its analysis of these films explores their proposal of an
ideal past - an Americanized Camelot and a democratized chivalry -
as the solution to the problems of a troubled present, a solution
that will ensure prosperity in the homeland and a globally
beneficial American authority abroad.
