Ecoconcerns and ecocriticism are a rising trend in medievalism
studies, and form a major focus of this collection. Topics under
discussion in the first part of the volume include figurations in
nineteenth- and twentieth-century medievalism; environmental
medievalism in Sidney Lanier's Southern chivalry; nostalgia and loss
in T.H. White's "forest sauvage"; and green medievalism in J.R.R.
Tolkien's elven realms.
The eleven subsequent articles continue to take in such themes more
tangentially, testing and buillding on the methods and conclusions of
the first part. Their subjects include John Aubrey's Middle Ages;
medieval charter-horns in early modern England;
nineteenth-centuryreimaginings of Chaucer's Griselda; Dante's
influence on Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream";
multi-layered medievalisms in George R.R. Martin's _A Song of Ice and
Fire_; (coopted) feminism via medievalism inDisney's _Maleficent_;
(neo)medievalism in _Babylon 5_ and _Crusade_; cosmopolitan anxieties
and national identity in Netflix's _Marco Polo_; mapping Everealm in
_The Quest_; undergraduate perceptions ofthe "medieval" and the
"Middle Ages"; and medievalism in the prosopopeia and corpsepaint of
Mayhem's _De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas_.
Karl Fugelso is Professor of Art History at Towson University in
Baltimore, Maryland.
