  Medievalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the European continent similar medievalist tendencies appeared from the late 18th century, likewise furnishing building blocks for what later would become known as the Romantic movement
The meaning "medievalism" takes becomes clear from the context in which it is used: in an academic context, from the 20th century on it means "study of the Middle Ages"; in most other contexts it refers to a part-romantic love for the Middle Ages.
If it is said that Erik Satie was involved in several medievalist sects before the end of the 19th century, it refers to the romantic undercurrent meaning of medievalism

 Tolkien's Middle-earth doesn't look like Medieval Europe
Medievalist clichés and shallownesses tend for me to ruin with a capital R any fantasy story they happen to pollute.
However, the Medievalist clichés you mention in your essay are probably an inevitable part of the genre Tolkien himself revitalized; even if Tolkien's vision itself was far less cliché-ridden.
In other words, the medievalist argument is flawed from the very beginning because it disagrees with what the author himself says.

 Epilogue
Pre-Raphaelite medievalist love poetry, which Pater announces in his deliberately expansive and philosophical review of Morris, also consistently apply to Swinburne's -- and much of Rossetti's -- medievalist poetry.
Morris' emphasis in his early medievalist poems is often brutally realistic; in his later medievalist works it is, equally often, self-consciously escapist.
An equally pervasive and equally distinctive characteristic is what Pater calls the "desire of beauty." The wisest men, according to Pater's concluding words, spend their lives "in art and song," generating "high passions" that evoke a "quickened sense of life, ecstacy and sorrow of love, political or religious enthusiasm, or the 'enthusiasm of humanity'" 1116).

 Modern Botany for the Medievalist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
As medievalists, we have a special interest in the scientific names.
The names of common European plants are usually derived from the longer descriptive names already in use, and almost always tell us something interesting about the plant (once you learn a bit of Latin vocabulary).
And it's even easier than Latin - botanical Latin isn't even remotely grammatical (usually the genus and the species have the same ending), and isn't pronounced in a way that would make Latin scholars happy.

 The Stoa Consortium » Blog Archive » Digital Medievalist
I found the article by Peter Robinson in the inaugural issue of The Digital Medievalist (a new peer-reviewed on-line journal for technology and medieval studies) particularly useful: “Our goal must be to ensure that any scholar able to make an edition in one medium should be able to make an edition in the other.
Further, that an edition in either medium should be equally assured of appropriate distribution: just as once a library has bought a print edition it can be used by any member of the library for years to come, so too should it be for electronic editions.”

like to say at the outset that I am a medievalist, not a Renaissance scholar, and that I have used only very obvious sources in support of what I have to say here.
Perhaps because of my background, not to mention certain prejudices widely attributed to me, Shakespeare's play looks very different to me from the picture of it usually developed by Renaissance scholars and literary critics.
are at least are the conclusions of a medievalist, straying a little from his proper path.
