World Medievalism: The Middle Ages in Modern Textual Culture explores how cultures around the modern world continue to engage creatively with the medieval past in order to come to terms with the global present. It builds its argument around four case studies--from the Middle East, France, Southeast Asia, and Indigenous Australia--which explore the different meanings of 'the Middle Ages' both beyond Europe and within a Europe transformed by multiculturalism and the global economy. The book examines literature alongside films, television, global media, and political events, as well as material artefacts such as photographs, paintings, statues, buildings, rock art, and fossils.
