Description

When scholars discuss the medieval past, the temptation is to become immersed there, to deepen our appreciation of the nuances of the medieval sources through debate about their meaning. But the past informs the present in a myriad of ways and medievalists can, and should, use their research to address the concerns and interests of contemporary society. This volume presents a number of carefully commissioned essays that demonstrate the fertility and originality of recent work in Medieval Studies. Above all, they have been selected for relevance. Most contributors are in the earlier stages of their careers and their approaches clearly reflect how interdisciplinary methodologies applied to Medieval Studies have potential repercussions and value far beyond the boundaries of the Middles Ages. These chapters are powerful demonstrations of the value of medieval research to our own times, both in terms of providing answers to some of the specific questions facing humanity today and in terms of much broader considerations. Taken together, the research presented here also provides readers with confidence in the fact that Medieval Studies cannot be neglected without a great loss to the understanding of what it means to be human. From the Back Cover Why should we care about the Middle Ages in a world dominated by the urgent issues raised by globalization, terrorism, the menace of climate change, and a foreseeable scarcity of natural resources? While medieval scholarship actually has a great deal to offer in respect to contemporary concerns, Medieval Studies very often exists in a world of its own. This volume connects state-of-the-art medieval research to the interests, problems, and challenges of our times. Its contributions cover a broad variety of examples, including recent developments in genetic studies and climate history, but also cultural practices of prognostication and forecasting, as well as intercultural contacts and exchange. Together this collection of essays establishes why the study of the Middle Ages remains highly relevant in the twenty-first century. About the Author C. Jones, University of Canterbury, NZ, C.
