- Description
- Trigg identifies two conflicting motivations for the making of Brian Helgeland's film "A Knight's Tale": the desire for academic research to provide legitimacy and the desire to create a new fictional narrative to engage a contemporary audience. This and similar popular narratives contribute to the current popular distribution of medieval knowledge, an area of focus for medievalism studies.
