Description
In The Cambridge Companion to Medievalism (2016), editor Louise D’Arcens notes that “[o]ne broad distinction that might provisionally be made is between the medievalism of the ‘found’ Middle Ages and the medievalism of the ‘made’ Middle Ages.” This session will focus on how social and cultural identity is shaped through the relationship between the medieval past and Victorian present in prose and literary texts.
