Early Modern Medievalisms
The Interplay between Scholarly Reflection and Artistic Production
Series: - Intersections, Volume: 15
Modernity has historically defined itself by relation to classical antiquity on the one hand, and the medieval on the other. While early modernityâs relation to Antiquity has been amply documented, its relation to the medieval has been less studied. This volume seeks to address this omission by presenting some preliminary explorations of this field. In seventeen essays ranging from the Italian Renaissance to Enlightenment France, it focuses on three main themes: continuities and discontinuities between the medieval and early modern, early modern re-uses of medieval matter, and conceptualizations of the medieval. Collectively, the essays illustrate how early modern medievalisms differ in important respects from post-Romantic views of the medieval, ultimately calling for a re-definition of the concept of medievalism itself.
