Review Quotes: International Medievalism is a very approachable collection that would work well in the undergraduate classroom and that provides medieval studies students and their instructors helpful avenues of inquiry. The subject matter allows for an easy introduction to medievalism and medieval studies, and the essays easily assigned to support work across multiple disciplines. The volume would be of particular interest to those teaching medievalism and popular culture, or those teaching or studying contemporary medievalist games and media, particularly in terms of the political work that media promotes and supports (purposely or inadvertently).-- "STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING"
