index.
505 0 Introduction: In the beginning was romance ... --
Cannibalism, the First Crusade, and the genesis of
medieval romance: Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the
kings of Britain -- The romance of England: Richard Coer
de Lyon and the politics of race, religion, sexuality, and
nation -- Warring against modernity: masculinity and
chivalry in crisis; or, the alliterative Morte Arthure's
romance anatomy of the Crusades -- Beauty and the East, a
modern love story: women, children, and imagined
communities in The man of law's tale and its others -- Eye
on the world: Mandeville's pleasure zones; or, cartography,
anthropology, and medieval travel romance.
520 Empire of Magic offers a genesis and genealogy for
medieval romance and the King Arthur legend through the
history of Europe's encounters with the East in crusades,
travel, missionizing, and empire formation. It also
produces definitions of ""race"" and ""nation"" for the
medieval period and posits that the Middle Ages and
medieval fantasies of race and religion have recently
returned. Drawing on feminist and gender theory, as well
as cultural analyses of race, class, and colonialism, this
provocative book revises our understanding of the
beginnings of the nine hundred-year-old cul.
