| Zusammenfassung: | "Whose Middle Ages? is an interdisciplinary collection of short, accessible essays intended for the nonspecialist reader and ideal for teaching at an undergraduate level. Each of twenty-two essays takes up an area where digging for meaning in the medieval past has brought something distorted back into the present: in our popular entertainment; in our news, our politics, and our propaganda; and in subtler ways that inform how we think about our histories, our countries, and ourselves. Each author looks to a history that has refused to remain past and uses the tools of the academy to read and re-read familiar stories, objects, symbols, and myths"-- Whose Middle Ages? is an interdisciplinary collection of short, accessible essays intended for the nonspecialist reader and ideal for teaching at an undergraduate level. Each of twenty-two essays takes up an area where digging for meaning in the medieval past has brought something distorted back into the present: in our popular entertainment; in our news, our politics, and our propaganda; and in subtler ways that inform how we think about our histories, our countries, and ourselves. Each author looks to a history that has refused to remain past and uses the tools of the academy to read and re-read familiar stories, objects, symbols, and myths. Whose Middle Ages? gives nonspecialists access to the richness of our historical knowledge while debunking damaging misconceptions about the medieval past. Myths about the medieval period are especially beloved among the globally resurgent far right, from crusading emblems on the shields borne by alt-right demonstrators to the on-screen image of a purely white European populace defended from actors of color by Internet trolls. This collection attacks these myths directly by insisting that readers encounter the relics of the Middle Ages on their own terms. Each essay uses its author's academic research as a point of entry and takes care to explain how the author knows what she or he knows and what kinds of tools, bodies of evidence, and theoretical lenses allow scholars to write with certainty about elements of the past to a level of detail that might seem unattainable. By demystifying the methods of scholarly inquiry, Whose Middle Ages? serves as an antidote not only to the far right's errors of fact and interpretation but also to its assault on scholarship and expertise as valid means for the acquisition of knowledge. |

Each of twenty-two essays takes up an area where digging for meaning in the medieval past has brought something distorted back into the present: in our popular entertainment; in our news, our politics, and our propaganda; and in subtler ways that inform how we think about our histories, our countries, and ourselves. Each author looks to a history that has refused to remain past and uses the tools of the academy to read and re-read familiar stories, objects, symbols, and myths. Whose Middle Ages? gives nonspecialists access to the richness of our historical knowledge while debunking damaging misconceptions about the medieval past. Myths about the medieval period are especially beloved among the globally resurgent far right, from crusading emblems on the shields borne by alt-right demonstrators to the on-screen image of a purely white European populace defended from actors of color by Internet trolls. This collection attacks these myths directly by insisting that readers encounter the relics of the Middle Ages on their own terms. Each essay uses its author's academic research as a point of entry and takes care to explain how the author knows what she or he knows and what kinds of tools, bodies of evidence, and theoretical lenses allow scholars to write with certainty about elements of the past to a level of detail that might seem unattainable. By demystifying the methods of scholarly inquiry, Whose Middle Ages? serves as an antidote not only to the far right's errors of fact and interpretation but also to its assault on scholarship and expertise as valid means for the acquisition of knowledge.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Online resource; title from digital title page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed September, 2021).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Civilization, Medieval.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85026463</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Civilization, Medieval</subfield><subfield code="x">Influence.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Middle Ages.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85085001</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Civilisation médiévale.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Civilisation médiévale</subfield><subfield code="x">Influence.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Moyen Âge.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Popular Culture.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Civilization, Medieval</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Middle Ages</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mittelalter</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4129108-6</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Europe.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">alt-right.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">crusades.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">globalism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">medievalism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">middle ages.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">nation-state.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">race.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">white supremacy.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Albin, Andrew,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Erler, Mary Carpenter,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">O'Donnell, Thomas</subfield><subfield code="c">(Medievalist),</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjyqf3TVjFMTbQmfRvcvwP</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2019044621</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Paul, Nicholas,</subfield><subfield code="d">1977-</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjGHPR6vbGPVc86fHC3QpX</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011042573</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Rowe, Nina,</subfield><subfield code="e">editor.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Whose Middle Ages?
