Now reissued in an updated paperback edition, this groundbreaking account of the Medieval Revival movement examines the ways in which the style of the medieval period was re-established in post-Enlightenment Englandâfrom Walpole and Scott, Pugin, Ruskin, and Tennyson to Pound, Tolkien, and Rowling. âMedievalism . . . takes a panoramic view of the ârecoveryâ of the Medieval in English literature, visual arts and culture. . . . Ambitious, sweeping, sometimes idiosyncratic, but always interesting.ââRosemary Ashton, Times Literary Supplement âDeeply researched and stylishly written, Medievalism is an unalloyed delight that will instruct and amuse a wide readership.ââEdward Short, Books & Culture
