Visions and ruins : Cultural memory and the untimely Middle Ages / Joshua Davies. - 1 online resource (ix, 224 pages) - Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture . - Manchester medieval literature and culture. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-219).
Ruins and wonders: the poetics of cultural memory in and of early medieval England -- Queen Eleanor and her crosses: trauma and memory, medieval and modern -- Medievalist double consciousness and the production of difference: Medieval bards, cultural memory and nationalist fantasy -- The language of gesture: untimely bodies and contemporary performance.
This study works with texts in Old English, Middle English and Latin, as well as material and visual culture, to explore how representations of the past created in the British Middle Ages have been reimagined in modernity. Visions and ruins explores the production of cultural memory in the Middle Ages and the uses the medieval past has been put to in modernity. Working with texts in Old English, Middle English and Latin, as well as visual and material culture, it traces connections in time, place, language and media to explore the temporal complexities of cultural production and subject formation. The book interrogates critical, poetic, artistic and political archives to reveal exchanges of cultural energy and influence between past and present, offering new ways of knowing the medieval past and the contemporary moment.
