Film and Fiction: Reviewing the Middle Ages (Studies in Medievalism, Volume XII 2002) Edited by Tom Shippey with Martin Arnold

"The 'Editorial Note' of the previous volume of Studies in Medievalism remarked that it contained no contribution directed toward popular, commercial, and contemporary forms of medievalism, but that these would be as welcome in the future as studies directed towards the academy or towards medievalism of the past. It is a pleasure accordingly to note that the balance has been to some extent redressed in the present volume, which contains three essays discussing modern film representations of the Middle Ages." From the Editorial Note Studies in Medievalism provides an interdisciplinary medium of exchange for scholars in all fields, including the visual and other arts, concerned with any aspect of the post-medieval idea and study of the Middle Ages and the influence, both scholarly and popular, of this study on Western society after 1500.
