The question of how modernity has influenced medievalism and how
medievalism has influenced modernity is the theme of this volume. The
opening essays examine the 2001 film _Just Visiting_'s comments on
modern anxieties via medievalism; conflations of modernity with both
medievalism and the Middle Ages in rewriting sources; the emergence of
modernity amid the post-World War I movement The Most Noble Order of
Crusaders; António Sardinha's promotion of medievalism as an antidote
to modernity; and Mercedes Rubio's medievalism in her feminist
commentary on modernity. The eight subsequent articles build on this
foundation while discussing remnants of medieval London amid its
moderndescendant; Michel Houellebecq's critique of medievalism through
his 2011 novel _La Carte et le territoire_; historical authenticity in
Michael Morrow's approach to performing medieval music; contemporary
concerns in Ford Madox Brown and David Gentleman's murals; medieval
Chester in Catherine A.M. Clarke and Nayan Kulkarni's _Hryre_ (2012);
medieval influences on the formation of and debate about modern moral
panics; medievalist considerations inmodern repurposings of medieval
anchorholds; and medieval sources for Paddy Molloy's _Here Be Dragons_
(2013). The articles thus test the essays' methods and conclusions,
even as the essays offer fresh perspectives on the articles.
