Medievalism Features Across Arts, Entertainment

Medieval themes are appearing across art and entertainment, from historical battle paintings to contemporary fashion, music videos and playful public spectacles. One account describes the revival of medieval aesthetics as a lighthearted, community-minded response to modern life, while a London comedy uses a fictional town’s push for an English Bible to explore education, religious authority and class. In Pennsylvania, Musica Antiqua plans a free Halloween program of medieval music and ghost stories, featuring instruments and songs from the 11th to 14th centuries.
