Studies in Medievalism XXI [PDF ebook] 
Corporate Medievalism

Support

Essays on the post-modern reception and interpretation of the middle ages, with a particular focus on its relationship with business and finance.
Academia has never been immune to corporate culture, and despite the persistent association of medievalism with escapism, perhaps never has that been more obvious than at the present moment. The six essays that open the volume explore precisely how financial institutions have promoted, distorted, appropriated, resisted, and repudiated post-medieval interpretations of the middle ages. In the second part of the book, contributors explore medievalism in a variety of areas, juxtaposing specific case studies with broader investigations of the discipline’s motives and methods; they include Charles Kingsley’s racial Anglo-Saxonism, Jessie L. Weston’s Sir Gawain and the treatment of womenin medievalist film. The book also includes a spirited response to previous Studies in Medievalism volumes on the topic neomedievalism.
