Once, present, and future kings: kingdom of heaven and the multitemporality of medieval film / Arthur Lindley -- Chahine's destiny: prophetic nostalgia and the other middle classes / Don Hoffman -- Reversing the crusades: hegemony, orientalism, and film language in Youssef Chahine's Saladin /John M. Ganim -- Samurai on shifting ground: negotiating the Medieval and the modern in Seven Samurai and Yojimbo / Randy P. Schiff -- Vikings through the eyes of an Arab ethnographer: constructions of the other in The 13th warrior / Lynn Shutters -- Mission historical, or "[T]here were a hell of alot of knights": ethnicity and alterity inJerry Bruckheimer's King Arthur / Carolin Jewers -- Inner-city chivalry in Gil Junger's Black knight: a South Central Yankee in King Leo's court / Laurie A. Finke and Martin B. Shichtman --Queering the Medieval dead: history, horror, and masculinity in Sam Raimi's Evil dead trilogy / Tison Pugh -- In praise of troubadourism: creating community in occupiedFrance, 1942-43 / Lynn T. Ramey -- Sexing warrior women in China's martial arts world: King Hu's A touch of Zen / Peter Lorge -- The hawk,the wolf, and the mouse: tracing the gendered other in Richard Donner's Ladyhawke / Angela Jane Weisl -- Chaucer's man show: anachronistic authority in Brian Helgeland's A knight's tale / Holly A. Crocker -- The "other" women of Sherwood: the construction of difference and gender incinematic treatments of the Robin Hood legend / Lorrain K. Stock and Candace Gregory-Abbott.

The medieval film genre is not, in general, concerned with constructing a historically accurate past, but much analysis nonetheless centerson highlighting anachronisms. This book aims to help scholars and aficionados of medieval film think about how the re-creation of an often mythical past performs important cultural work for modern directors and viewers. The essays in this collection demonstrate that directors intentionally insert modern preoccupations into a setting that would normallybe considered incompatible with these concepts. The Middle Ages provide an imaginary space far enough removed from the present day to exploremodern preoccupations with human identity.
