The first volume of Rewriting the Middle Ages in the
Twentieth Century, published in 2005 by Brepols, gathered
twenty profiles of key medievalists of the 20th century,
and was preceded by an introduction on the evolution and current
situation of medieval studies written by Jaume Aurell. Because of
the excellent international reception of that volume, we continue
this historiographical task by collecting in future volumes
profiles of other 20th century medievalists.
The second volume of the collection, centred on
National Traditions, is focused on eighteen
medievalists who have been significant in diverse countries in the
development of both medievalism and national identity. Medievalism
has been closely united to national traditions since its beginning,
and this book contributes to our understanding of this phenomenon.
Romantic intellectuals attraction to the medieval period
largely explains the influence of medievalism in the formation of
contemporary national identities, as from the 19th
century, medievalists have also functioned as intellectuals present
in the public debate. In the 20th century, important
scholars of the Middle Ages, some of whom are studied in this
volume, had already become authentic national
chroniclers, consolidators of the identities of the
countries to which they felt closely linked both intellectually and
emotionally. They actively participated in debates that exceeded
strictly academic limits, delving into a wide range of political
and cultural issues.
The range of the cultural and geographical origins of the
medievalists profiled in this volume from England, Spain,
France, Germany, Russia, Portugal, Romania, Poland, Argentina,
Bulgaria, United States, Belgium, Holland, and Turkey est
illustrates the global influence of medievalism in the
construction, invention, and consolidation of national traditions.
This focus, which perhaps (and apparently) contravenes the actual
strength of the process of globalisation, is especially fascinating
in the field of medievalism, because most of the modern nations
specially those in Europe and Asia have found their
justification, inspiration, and legendary and historical
foundations in the Middle Ages. By reading the lives of these
medievalists, we can better understand the development of
intellectual history and our notions of developing cultural
traditions.

Rewriting the Middle Ages in the
Twentieth Century offers analytical introductions to the
biographical and academic trajectories as well as the scholarly
contributions of the most important medievalists of the 20th
century, privileging the contexts in which their influential texts
in modern medieval studies were articulated and their effect on
subsequent approaches to the field. The volume pays tribute to the
medievalists-historians, philologists, literary critics,
philosophers, historians of art and science, and theologians-whose
work effectively forged contemporary academics and acknowledges a
debt of gratitude for the trail they blazed in the twentieth
century. An introductory essay provides a comprehensive examination
of the development of historiographical perspectives on medieval
studies as shaped by the subjects of the volume, contextualizing
the individual chapters and offering a critical reconsideration of
the manifold ways in which medievalism has been inscribed. The
chapters in the book develop from interdisciplinary and transversal
strategies which reflect the kind of originative work enacted by
both the subjects of the volume and the scholars who write about
them. The contributors include renowned international medievalists
and historiographers as Martin Aurell, Paul Freedman, Natalie
Fryde, Alessandro Ghisalberti, Massimo Mastrogregori, Michael
McVaugh, Jean-Calude Schmitt, and Martin Thurner. A concluding
essay summarizes the place of the medievalists in relation to their
professional identity, to the time in which they worked, and to the
national spaces that marked their scholarly production.
Among the medievalists studied are
the leading exponents of the influential French historical school
of the Annales, Marc Bloch, Jacques Le Goff and Georges Duby;
representatives from the highest philosophical tradition, including
Raymond Klibansky, Albert Zimmermann, and Clemens Baeumker;
economic and trade historian Roberto Sabatino López;
historians of political thought like Ernst Kantorowicz; exponents
from the classical school of legal and institutional history such
as François Louis Ganshof and Frederic William Maitland;
pioneering cultural historian Charles Homer Haskins; historians of
theology and Christian philosophy Etienne Gilson and
Marie-Dominique Chenu; members of the Spanish historical and
philological school that include Ramon Menéndez Pidal,
Rafael Lapesa, and Claudio Sánchez de Albornoz and, in
Catalonia, Ferran Soldevila; and finally, from lesser known but
equally fascinating fields of medieval studies like the science
historian Pierre Duhem and the music historian Ugo
Sesini.
