Cultural Studies of the Modern Middle Ages

The essays in this volume bring together contemporary popular entertainment, current political subjects, and medieval history and culture, in order to investigate the intersecting and often tangled relations between politics, aesthetics, reality, and fiction, especially in relation to issues of morality, identity, temporality, social values, power, and justice, both in the past and the present.
