Bremmer, Jr, Sophie van Romburgh, Steve Watson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Studies in Medievalism is devoted to modern re-creations of the middle ages: a field of central importance not only to scholarship but to the whole contemporary cultural world. Publisher Description The middle ages remain a prize to be fought for and a territory to control. From early modern times rulers and politicians have sought to ground their legitimacy in ancient tradition - which they have often invented or rewritten for their own purposes. The current issue of Studies in Medievalism/ presents a number of such cases, ranging from the rewriting of Mozart, and Merovingian history, for the King of Bavaria, to the anglicization of the medieval Welsh Mabinogion by the wife of an English ironmaster. Other articles consider the involvement of scholarship with national and professional self-definition, whether in Renaissance Holland or Victorian Britain. And who discovered America, Christopher Columbus or Leif Ericsson? This is an issue of vital importance to many 19th-century Americans, but one created and determined entirely by scholarship. Simple commercial motives for exploiting the middle ages are also represented, whether straightforward forgery for sale, or the giant modern industry of tourism. Professor TOM SHIPPEY teaches in the Department of English at the University of St Louis; Dr MARTIN ARNOLD teaches at University College, Scarborough.Contributors: SOPHIE VAN ROMBURGH, ROLF H.
