Medievalism : The Middle Ages In Modern England

Attribution
Michael Alexander
Publication Details
Book, Yale University Press, 2007
Links
Description
The style of the medieval period, which flows through the bloodstream of western culture, was vigorously re-established in post-Enlightenment England. In this skilled dissection of the components of this pervasive cultural movement, Michael Alexander rejects the idea that medievalism was confined to the Victorian period, and overturns the suspicion that it is by its nature escapist.

Experiencing The Afterlife : Soul And Body In Dante And Medieval Culture

Attribution
Manuele Gragnolati
Publication Details
Book, University of Notre Dame Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
By integrating lesser-known texts and scholarship from other disciplines into the specialized field of Dante studies, Gragnolati sheds new light on some of the most vigorously debated and crucial questions raised by the Divine Comedy, including the embryological discourse of Purgatorio 25, the relation between the soul?s experience of pain in Purgatory and the devotion that late medieval culture expressed toward Christ?s suffering, and the significance of the audacious vision of resurrected bodies that Dante the pilgrim enjoys at the end of his journey.

Empire Of Magic : Medieval Romance And The Politics Of Cultural Fantasy

Attribution
Geraldine Heng
Publication Details
Book, Columbia University Press, 2003
Description
Empire of Magic offers a genesis and genealogy for medieval romance and the King Arthur legend through the history of Europe’s encounters with the East in crusades, travel, missionizing, and empire formation. After locating the rise of romance and Arthurian legend in the contact zones of East and West, Heng demonstrates the adaptability of romance and its key role in the genesis of an English national identity. Empire of Magic is expansive in scope, spanning the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, and detailed in coverage, examining various types of romance — historical, national, popular, chivalric, family, and travel romances, among others — to see how cultural fantasy responds to changing crises, pressures, and demands in a number of different ways.
