Studies in Medievalism VIII: Medievalism in Europe II

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.
