| Long abstract | Being the only medievalist on one’s campus can be lonely, not because one’s colleagues are unwelcoming or uncollegial, but because the language of our intellectual passion is missing from campus. It’s not merely that those around us are not reading the same journals or attending the same conferences that we enjoy, but that their very definition of medieval is likely to be far re-moved from what we actually study, given medievalism’s power-ful influence on the portrayal of the Middle Ages in contempo-rary literature, film, and pop culture. Moreover, when it comes to the humanities, current political forces, with their emphases on the practicality of a college degree, are far more likely to pro-mote the study of modern languages, politics, and religion than their medieval cousins, reaching across cultures geographically, but less often temporally. As a result, the lone medievalist may come to feel isolated, and even unappreciated, regardless of his or her actual rank or relationships with fellow faculty. |
