How is history even possible, since it involves recapturing a past
already lost? It is through this urge to understand, feel and
experience, that films based on medieval history are made. They
attempt to re-create the past, but can only do so through a queer
re-visioning that inevitably replicates modernity. In these
mediations between past and present, history becomes misty, and so,
too, do constructions of gender and sexuality leading to the
impossibility of heterosexuality, or of any sexuality, predicated
upon cinematic medievalism. Queer Movie Medievalisms is the first
book of its kind to grapple with the ways in which mediations
between past and present, as registered on the silver screen,
queerly undercut assumptions about sexuality throughout time. It
will be of great interest to scholars of Gender and Sexuality,
Cultural and Media Studies, Film Studies and Medieval History.
