Now reissued in an updated paperback edition, this groundbreaking account of the Medieval Revival movement examines the ways in which the style of the medieval period was re-established in post-Enlightenment Englandâ"from Walpole and Scott, Pugin, Ruskin, and Tennyson to Pound, Tolkien, and Rowling.
 
âMedievalism . . . takes a panoramic view of the ârecoveryâ of the Medieval in English literature, visual arts and culture. . . . Ambitious, sweeping, sometimes idiosyncratic, but always interesting.ââ"Rosemary Ashton, Times Literary Supplement
 
âDeeply researched and stylishly written, Medievalism is an unalloyed delight that will instruct and amuse a wide readership.ââ"Edward Short, Books & Culture
Industry Reviews
"Professor Alexander has made me want to search out many of the poets and writers, amongst others, whom he cites, particularly those of the twentieth century, and re-read them in the light of having learnt so much from this book about how significant the past will always be, and needs to be, in the creation of new work." - Catriona Blaker, Present State
