Medievalism and the Gothic in Australian Culture

This collection opens up the new field of Australian medievalism: the heritage and continuing influence of medieval and gothic themes, ideas, and narratives in Australian culture. The contributors represent a range of scholarly disciplines and traditions and their subject matter includes early narrative of Australian ‘discovery’ the conscious invocation of medieval and gothic tropes in Australian fiction and poetry; the transformation of the medieval and the gothic into fantasy literature and role-playing games; and the implications of medieval and gothic tropes for discussions of Australian nationalism.
