About the book

Drawing from an eclectic mix of scholars from the US, UK, and Australia, "Medieval Afterlives in Popular Culture" examines the persistence of medieval themes, characters, and situations in a variety of media from reality television to Virginia Woolf, from Arthurian film to Disney animation, from Shrek to historical fantasy. Each essay demonstrates that the Middle Ages are not relegated to a static past but continue to fashion a vital presence in contemporary popular culture, changing our assumptions about the flow of history and the creation of the present.
