Abstract

'The Public Curatorship of the Medieval Past' Special Collection explores how the medieval past is 'curated'—that is, collected, interpreted, and communicated—across both professional and popular society, and takes a particular interest in the ways in which medievalism impacts these acts. In this introduction to the collection, the editors discuss the questions and issues which motived the creation of the collection, and provide an overview of the articles collected.
