Abstract

Here are essays on the post-modern reception and interpretation of the Middle Ages. The first part of the book features four short essays that directly address manifestations of sexism in postmedieval responses to the Middle Ages: gender substitutions in a Grail Quest episode of the 2023 television series 'Mrs. Davis', repurposed misogyny in the last two episodes of 'Game of Thrones' (2011-19), traditional gender stereotypes in Capital One's credit card commercials from 2000 to 2013, and 'shaggy' medievalism in Robert Eggers' 2022 film 'The Northman'. The second part contains ten longer essays, which collectively continue to demonstrate the ubiquity of gender issues and the extraordinary flexibility of approaches to them
