From Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal to Monty Python, an investigation into how eight key films have shaped our understanding of the medieval world. In The Middle Ages and the Movies, eminent historian Robert Bartlett takes a fresh, cogent look at how our view of medieval history has been shaped by eight significant films of the twentieth century. The book ranges from the concoction of sex and nationalism in Mel Gibson's Braveheart, to Fritz Lang's silent epic Siegfried, the art-house classic The Seventh Seal, and the epic historical drama El Cid. Bartlett examines the historical accuracy of these films, as well as other salient aspects-how was Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose translated from page to screen? Why is Monty Python and the Holy Grail funny? And how was Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky shaped by the Stalinist tyranny under which it was filmed?

Mittelalterfilme imaginieren eine Zeit, die gleichzeitig fremd und vertraut ist. Sie suchen im Vergangenen das Gegenwärtige, entwerfen farbenprächtige Tableaus und erproben neue filmische Ästhetiken. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine systematische Einführung in das Genre und eine Präsentation wesentlicher Filme durch namhafte Wissenschaftler. This volume offers a comprehensive account and documentation of the way the Middle Ages have been presented in the medium of film. It is arranged as a compendium, contains a comprehensive introduction, and treats all aspects of cinematic images of medieval times (myths, heroes, materials, the presentation of violence, the image of women etc.). It thus documents a particularly important source of our popular contemporary view of the Middle Ages. A comprehensive filmography assembles all the important films on the Middle Ages.
