This fascinating and illuminating guide is written by one of the leading contemporary scholars of Medieval literature, and explores: - The influence of medieval cultural concepts on key authors such as Shakespeare, Dante, Chaucer, George Eliot and Mark Twain - The continued appeal of medieval cultural figures such as King Arthur and Robin Hood - The influence of the medieval on disciplines such as politics, music, film, and art. Medievalisms surveys the critical field and sets the boundaries for future study, providing an essential background for literary study from the Medieval period through to the twenty-first century"-- 0aMedievalism. 0aMedievalismxSocial aspects. 0aMedievalismxPolitical aspects. 0aPopular culture. 0aCommercial productsxSocial aspects. 0aMiddle Ages in art. 0aMiddle Ages in literature. 0aMiddle Ages in motion pictures. 7aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / General. 7aLITERARY COLLECTIONS / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. 7aLITERARY CRITICISM / General.1 aWeisl, Angela Jane,d1963-
