Question: Do you use "medievalism" interchangeably w/ "medieval studies"? I always use "medievalism" when speaking of how ppl in later periods imagined the Middle Ages, whereas "medieval studies" is the historical study of the period. Is there a US/UK difference? #medievaltwitterpic.twitter.com/xQp1UM29EJ
I was taught your usage: while a medievalist is someone who studies the Middle Ages, medievalism is the modern reception of the Middle Ages, whereas medieval studies is the field of scholarly inquiry.
