a sample chapter
This book is aimed at
students coming to the study of western European medieval history for
the first time, and also graduate students on interdisciplinary
medieval studies programmes. It examines the place of the Middle Ages
in modern popular culture, exploring the roots of the stereotypes that
appear in films, on television and in the press, and asking why they
remain so persistent. The book also asks whether 'medieval' is indeed a
useful category in terms of historical periodization. It investigates
some of the particular challenges posed by medieval sources and the
ways in which they have survived. And it concludes with an exploration
of the relevance of medieval history in today's world.
