Description
Investigates the relationship between medieval studies and medievalism and how "the history of the medieval" provides contemporary readers with "a model of how to relate to the past." Argues that medieval writers offer models for understanding how contemporary readers can connect with "the lost history of what may be called the 'medievalism of the medievals'."
