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 Includes bibliographical references and index
