Welcome to MEDIEVALISM!

This blog will serve as a forum for communicating about all aspects regarding the reception of medieval culture in postmedieval times, usually referred to as "medievalism," from active production or recreation of medieval music, art, literature, etc. to the academic study of such phenomena. While the blog may be read by anyone interested in medievalism, contributions to the blog may only be made by a number of active practitioners, mostly those involved in the Studies in Medievalism movement founded by Leslie J. Workman. This group of scholars and writers, who organize an annual conference, edit and publish two journals (Studies in Medievalism; The Year's Work in Medievalism), and regularly review and write on the subject, includes interdisciplinary specialists from all over the world. I hope that their postings will contribute to an increased understanding of the manifold medievalist practices in societies and by individuals from the Renaissance through the present.

With collegial regards,
Richard Utz
