Title: Mapping Medievalism at the Canadian Frontier
Description: London, Ontario, Museum London; McIntosh Gallery. 2010, First Edition. (ISBN: 9781897215302) Soft cover, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book, 172 pages, colour illustrations. The publication consists of eleven essays written by Professor Brush and her graduate students on diverse facets of "medievalism" that have contributed to the construction of the mythology-textual and visual-of the Canadian frontier. The topics range across transhistorical and transcultural terrain, and draw on recent approaches used by historians and theorists of art, culture, and anthropology. The objective is to make an exploratory foray into an original topic and to initiate discussion of it. This illustrated collection of essays is co-published by Museum London and the McIntosh Gallery. The publication includes a checklist of the objects in the exhibition.
