Studies in Medievalism XX 
Defining Neomedievalism(s) II

An engagement with the huge growth in neomedievalism forms the core of this volume, with other essays testing its conclusions.


Following on from previous issues, this volume continues to explore definitions of neomedievalism and its relationship to traditional medievalism. In four essays that open the volume, Harry Brown, Kelly Ann Fitzpatrick, David W. Marshall, and Nils Holger Petersen underscore the elusive nature of distinctions between the two fields, particularly when assessing contemporary film, music, and electronic media. Seven articles then test the need for these distinctions, on subject matter ranging from Sir Walter Scott as a historian; M. E. Braddon’s gendered medievalism; friendship models in Mary Elizabeth Haweis’s Chaucer for Children; Jorge Luis Borges’s Northern interests; medieval practices in Ellis Peters’s Cadfael novels; innovative exhibits at the Museum of Wolframs-Eschenbach; and Celtic patterns in modern tattoos. Theory and practice are thus juxtaposed once again in a volume that is certain to fuel a central debate in not one but two of the fastest growing areas of academia.
