The volume aims to challenge the 'Dark Age' connotations associated with the Middle Ages, illustrating how critical curiosity can reshape narratives around this era.
The essays explore the dynamic interplay of medievalism in pedagogical, representational, and historiographical practices, seeking to transcend traditional geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
This collection of 14 essays encourages public engagement with the Middle Ages by moving beyond outdated narratives and embracing innovative perspectives on the medieval past.
Highlighting the themes of fetishisation and sexualisation of the medieval past, the book provides a comprehensive examination of medievalism's adaptation and misuse throughout history.
