| Summary |
The essays in this volume bring together analyses of contemporary popular entertainment, current political crises, and medieval history and culture, in order to investigate the intersecting and often tangled relations between the past and present, and between reality and fiction, especially in relation to issues of identity and self-formation, morality, statecraft, social justice, violence, the law, and the historical imagination |
