Reviews

This is a book I plan to pack in my suitcase. It is a map of the landscape of a secret medieval America; chapters on gardens, theme parks, cityscapes, and art are by some of the most original and interesting scholars studying our fantasies of a premodern past. This is as close as scholarship gets to magical realism. - John M. Ganim, Distinguished Professor of English, University of California, Riverside, and author of Medievalism and Orientalism. This is the rare medievalism-studies collection whose sum is even greater than its parts, each of which is terrific in and of itself. Every one of these essays shines a brilliant light on the many ways the Middle Ages continue to shape the world around us, particularly through lieux d'imagination, through places that invite us to imagine the medieval past in such a way as to confirm our myths about it - and about ourselves. - Karl Fugelso, Professor and Chair of Art History, Towson University, and Editor-in-Chief for Studies in Medievalism
