"This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded
by Knowledge Unlatched. Bringing together an international team of experts, The Middle
Ages in Modern Culture considers the use of medieval models across a variety of contemporary
media - ranging from television and film to architecture - and the significance of
deploying an authentic medieval world to these representations. Rooted in this question
of authenticity, this interdisciplinary study addresses three connected themes. Firstly,
how does historical accuracy relate to authenticity, and whose version of authenticity
is accepted? Secondly, how are the middle ages presented in modern media and why do
inaccuracies emerge and persist in these works? Thirdly, how do creators of modern
content attempt to produce authentic medieval environments, and what are the benefits
and pitfalls of accurate portrayals? The result is nuanced study of medieval culture
which sheds new light on the use (and misuse) of medieval history in modern media"
