10.00-15.00 Uhr

Organisation: Prof. Dr. Christoph Houswitschka

Medievalism has been a literary and cultural tendency to look back at the historical or imaginary Middle Ages. This usually results in the reworking of the previous (cultural) texts, which endows the idiosyncratic vision of the medieval with current political and ideological meanings. Already the eighteenth-century culture reveled in the exploration of the medieval. The interest was both antiquarian, hence scholarly, and popular. The Gothic/Medieval Revival culture stemmed from this interest. As a result, not all gothicisms are forms of medievalism, but it is not infrequent that the medievalist and the gothic overlap.
