The second part of Medievalism and the Academy identifies the four
specific questions that have come to focus recent scholarship in
medievalism: What is difference? what is theory? woman? God? The
impact of cultural studies on contemporary medieval studies is
investigated in this latest volume of Studies in Medievalism, which
also offers an account of the developing interest of contemporary
cultural theorists inthe medieval period. Rather than dismissing
the connection between medieval studies and cultural criticism as
an expression of academic self-interest, the essays identify
specific questions which engage both, such as race, history, women,
religion, and literature. Topics include the use of Augustine by
postcolonial theorists; the influence of studies in medieval
mysticism on the development of women's studies programs; and the
influence of Foucault and NewHistoricism on the study of medieval
history. Contributors: ELLIE RAGLAND, TIMOTHY RICHARDSON, MICHAEL

The first of a two-volume examination of medievalism and academic
scholarship, this collection is divided into four sections:
Canonizing Chaucer, Antiquarian loomings, Medievalism, medieval
studies, and Medieval studies at the millennium. Medievalism, the
"continuing process of creating the middle ages", engenders formal
medieval studies from a wide variety of popular interests in the
middle ages. This volume accordingly explores the common ground
between artisticand popular constructions of the middle ages and
the study of the middle ages within the academy. Essays treat the
genesis of medieval studies in early modern antiquarianism; the
erection of academic medievalism through persistent, indeed
perverse, appeals to heroic medieval manliness and attenuated
female spirituality; the current jeopardy of the book (a medieval
invention) in the face of technological assault; the politics of
the nineteenth-century academy (F.W. Furnival and others); the
editorial practice of Sidney Lanier; and the cultural canonization
of Chaucer. Contributors: DAVID O. MATTHEWS, STEVE ELLIS, ANTONIA
