This book investigates the troubled relationship between medieval
studies and medievalism. Acknowledging that the medieval and
medievalism are mutually constitutive, and that their texts can be
read using similar strategies, it argues that medieval writers
offer powerful models for the ways in which contemporary desire
determines the constitution of the past. This desire can not only
connect us with the past but can reconnect readers in the present
with the lost history of what may be called the 'medievalism of the
medievals'. In other words, to come to terms with the history of
the medieval is to understand that it already offers us a model of
how to relate to the past. -- .
