| Abstract | This pair of sessions brings together researchers who are all engaged in thinking about how modern and contemporary poets, artists and practitioners have resourced and interacted with medieval manuscripts and medieval material culture more broadly. As often rare (and sometimes inaccessible) surviving glimpses of the textual culture of the past, medieval manuscripts continue to have a powerful hold on the modern cultural imagination. Exploring the artefacts of the medieval past as a creative resource for innovation, whether providing aesthetic, material, religious or political inspiration, these sessions suggest the rich creative legacies of medieval manuscripts beyond the Middle Ages. |
