Description
Derek Jarman's Medieval Modern explores the artist and filmmaker's lifelong engagement with medieval culture. This book is the first to uncover a rich seam of medievalism in Jarman's art, revealing its importance to his work. Through a range of films, including Caravaggio, The Garden, and The Last of England, as well as unrealised screenplays and short experimental films, Robert Mills proposes an expanded definition of medieval film. The book considers Jarman's engagement with Anglo-Saxon poetry, fourteenth-century poets, saints and mystics, and numerous paintings, buildings, and objects from the medieval period. Organised around several key themes - periodisation, anachronism, ruins, and wandering - this book will be of interest to film scholars, art historians, and medievalists who wish to challenge their understanding of the boundaries between medieval and modern cultures.
