Description de l'ouvrage:
This collection of original essays presents new scholarship on nearly three dozen feature-length films, including silent films, animated films, films in black and white, and films in technicolor, along with other, shorter examples of cinematic medievalism.

Written by contributors from around the globe with a wide variety of backgrounds, the essays in this volume take a critical approach to one of the most popular forms of medivalism. This book presents a full century of cinematic depictions of the Middle Ages, with new examinations of works such as The Seventh Seal, God’s Fool, La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, Saladin the Victorious, Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic, and A Knight’s Tale, among others.
