Historians increasingly feel the need to weigh in on popular depictions of the past, since so much of the public's knowledge of history comes from popular mediums. Aberth dissects how each film interpreted the period, offering estimations of the historical accuracy of the works and demonstrating how they project their own contemporary era's obsessions and fears onto the past.Middle Ages in motion picturesMiddle Ages in motion pictures.791.43/658Aberth John1963-,882776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799911503321A knight at the movies3875995UNINA
