These insightful essays make clear that medieval people employed sophisticated and inventive strategies to shape the past, to justify or destabilize the status quo, and to imagine the future. The fascinating reverberations among these essays lead us to a more refined understanding of the practice of history, its theoretical underpinnings, and its real-world impact—both in the Middle Ages and in our own time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Sherry Lindquist,author of \u003ci\u003eAgency, Visuality, and Society at the Chartreuse de Champmol\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This volume does great service to the medieval studies across a wide range of disciplines and is highly recommended.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Beth Williamson \u003ci\u003eThe Medieval Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pennsylvania State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036864577879,"sku":"9780271036366","price":80.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780271036366.jpg?v=1750932791","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/representing-history-9001300-art-music-history-9780271036366","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
