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

The second study of medievalism in Europe shows how the influence
of the middle ages has been manifested itself in various forms,
throughout the modern age, in Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden -
and Brazil. How have the middle ages been constructed in modern
European culture? How have these constructions both reflected and
refashioned national and political ideology? What has characterised
the interplay between literary and artisticmedievalism and the rise
of formal medieval studies in the academy? This international
collection addresses medievalism in Germany, France, Scandinavia,
and postcolonial South America. Contributors: RICHARD J. UTZ,

different forms of medievalism in Germany, France, Italy, Spain,
and Serbia. Medievalism, the whole spectrum of post-medieval
response to the middle ages, is now accepted as a vital key to the
understanding of Western culture and society from 1500 to the

artistic to the scholarly. Studies in Medievalism, now published

discussion of medievalism. This volume is devoted to medievalism in
Europe, excludingEngland (the subject of Volume IV,1992).
Contributors from Europe and America consider medievalism in
Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Serbia over a wide range of
topics from eighteenth-century French politics and
nineteenth-century German nationalism to contemporary Italian film.
Twelve essays discuss how the middle ages are reflected in English
culture from the sixteenth century to the present day. Eleven
essays, by scholars from America, Australia and the United Kingdom,
investigate reinventions of the middle ages in English culture from
the end of sixteenth century to the present day. Topics addressed
include medievalism in English popular literature; Sir Walter
Scott's Sir Tristrem; Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Chaucer;
George Stephens and Old Northern philology; Anglo-Saxonism and the
Franco-Prussian War; Dante and the Victorian historical sense; the
