"One of the great virtues of American/Medieval Goes North is ist wide range of contributors with fascinatingly diverse relationships to the main terms of analysis. There are academic scholars, poets, filmmakers, tribal elders, teachers at various levels; there are Indigenous people, people from settler colonial cultures, expats, immigrants. Their analytic and imaginative encounters with the North catch at the intensely symbolic and political charge of that locus. At a time when Medieval Studies cannot afford to ignore the period's popular uptake – cannot continue with business as usual in the face of white supremacists' brazen appropriations of the Middle Ages – this volume points to new possibilities for grappling with the uneasy relationships between the 'American' and the 'medieval'." – Prof Carolyn Dinshaw, New York University

This volume offers a dialogue with and through the medieval informed by cultural categories of performativity and simultaneity in on-line media, architecture, film, poetry, and social formations. The articles depart from Medievalism Studies and attempt to answer questions such as: How do medievalists, artists, writers, and entertainment industries communicate, replicate, and evoke medieval formations? How do national and transnational discursive fields relate to understandings of the medieval in its many unstable states? Where are the communal memory sites and what functions do they serve for those who are associated with them? Where are the medieval disjunctions and conjunctions of race, ethnicity and time in a settler society? And what do place, nature, and landscape have to do with it?

"When you put on that badge, remember this. Every country has its medieval times. Murders, rapes, robberies, crime, war, slavery and horrors. When you put on that badge, you take all this on. These are America's medieval times..." - Police Chief Gustav Henri, Paris Texas, 1888 A young, Johann Gunther, fresh out of the US Army, stared at the badge on the Chief's desk, pondering this warning and still pinned on the badge. He joined a small police force in northeast Texas in one of the rowdiest and dangerous regions and times in the Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas borders. Gunther learns both the diplomatic and deadly ways of a lawman from an odd, six-foot-nine-inch, teenage deputy named Stinky Moses. And he learns the ways of a detective from the former Paris, France detective and former Devil's Island warden who retired to Texas, the colorful and robust, Gustav Henri. The next 6 years are chronicled in this book! He fights all those "medieval" outlaws, in several wild west adventures, chases the Dalton Gang in a daring ambush, meets Bill Tilgman and Bass Reeves, and even solves a series of serial murders involving the KKK and a mysterious doctor from England. To escape the revenge of these remaining, at-large killers, two governors send him to West Point and back into the Army. Time passes and his adventures are covered in other Wolfpack Published books. Gunther emerges as an officer with battles in Cuba, the Philippines, India, Afghanistan and China, then back to Texas to open his Remedies Detective Agency (get these adventures in other Gunther titles.) And we return to this book 19 years later! Now it's 1916, the gaunt, giant Stinky Moses, now a Federal Marshal in West Texas, shows up at Gunther's, Remedies office in Fort Worth. He needs desperate help. Their old, now retired police Chief Gustav Henri is in fatal trouble back in Paris, Texas. A gang of eight, French-Indo-China killers are in route to murder Henri in a blood feud, revenge vendetta from the Chief's former days in France and Devil's Island. The new law regime in Paris, Texas is corrupt, uncooperative and incorrigible. Can Gunther, Stinky and Henri stop these vicious, foreign gangsters that are willing to die for their Triad, criminal family honor?

Today, the United States is becoming more like the Middle Ages than ever, as the gap between the rich and poor grows, and the pandemic, economic crisis, and protests reflect this great divide. The superwealthy have become like a new royalty and nobility, while a class of impoverished, landless, and homeless individuals and families continues to expand. The poor are like the peasants of medieval Europe -- a development fueling the seeds of revolution today, much like the medieval peasant revolts. Through meticulous research, author Gini Graham Scott paints a stark portrait of this growing division in society, drawing parallels to the Middle Ages and showing how our present course is ripe for social and political upheaval. But then there is hope, since the Middle Ages were followed by a Renaissance, a time of rapid change and creative development. The chapters cover these topics: Inequality from Middle Ages to Modern Times Who Has the Money? Creating and Expanding the Kingdoms Battling for Control The World of Work The Power and Influence of the Military and Family The Lifestyles of the Superrich and Others: Then and Now The Growing Inequality Between Rich and Poor War, Revolution, Famine, and the Plague The Growing Crisis and What to Do Next What an American Renaissance Might Look Like

Those tales of old—King Arthur, Robin Hood, The Crusades, Marco Polo, Joan of Arc—have been told and retold, and the tradition of their telling has been gloriously upheld by filmmaking from its very inception. From the earliest of Georges Méliès’s films in 1897, to a 1996 animated Hunchback of Notre Dame, film has offered not just fantasy but exploration of these roles so vital to the modern psyche. St. Joan has undergone the transition from peasant girl to self-assured saint, and Camelot has transcended the soundstage to evoke the Kennedys in the White House. Here is the first comprehensive survey of more than 900 cinematic depictions of the European Middle Ages—date of production, country of origin, director, production company, cast, and a synopsis and commentary. A bibliography, index, and over 100 stills complete this remarkable work.
