Reviews

'Through readings of films familiar and obscure, foreign and domestic, recent and classic, Queer Movie Medievalisms challenges us to think deeply about how heterosexuality works and how it inevitably fails, about how a film offers not just multiple points of audience identification but multiple cohabitating times. A superb collection of essays, with an especially provocative afterword by Glenn Burger and Steve Kruger. I commend Tison Pugh and Kathleen Coyne Kelly for producing so valuable and timely a volume.' Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, George Washington University, USA 'Queer Movie Medievalisms stands alone in the intense and far-ranging (pink) spotlight it deploys to examine cinematic encounters with the so-called Dark Ages. Combining impeccable scholarship and enthusiastic engagement, the essays in this volume consider how the medieval becomes a destabilizing queer space for a range of American and European stars and films.' Alex Doty, Indiana University, USA '... provide[s] the basis for the creation of interdisciplinary as well as intercultural theories of adaptation.' Adaptation
