{"product_id":"medieval-imagery-in-todays-politics-daniel-wollenberg-9781942401407","title":"Medieval Imagery in Today's Politics","description":"The election of fringe political parties on the far and extreme right across Europe since spring 2014 has brought the political discourse of old Europe and tradition to the foreground. Writers and politicians on the right have called for the reclamation, rediscovery, and return of the spirit of national identities rooted in the medieval past. Though the medieval is often deployed as a stigmatic symbol of all that is retrograde, against modernity, and barbaric, the medieval is increasingly being sought as a bedrock of tradition, heritage, and identity. Both characterizations - the medieval as violent other and the medieval as vital foundation - are mined and studied in this book. It examines contemporary political uses of the Middle Ages to ask why the medieval continues to play such a prominent role in the political and historical imagination today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Wollenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194240140X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942401407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.20w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaniel Wollenberg ================= Daniel Wollenberg is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Tampa, specializing in medieval literature and culture.
