From the earliest of Georges Melies's films in 1897, to a 1996 animated \u003ci\u003eHunchback of Notre Dame\u003c\/i\u003e, film has offered not just fantasy but exploration of these roles so vital to the modern psyche. St. Joan has undergone the transition from peasant girl to self-assured saint, and \u003ci\u003eCamelot\u003c\/i\u003e has transcended the soundstage to evoke the Kennedys in the White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Here is the first comprehensive survey of more than 900 cinematic depictions of the European Middle Ages--date of production, country of origin, director, production company, cast, and a synopsis and commentary. A bibliography, index, and over 100 stills complete this remarkable work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin J.
