Elliott's book is groundbreaking and gives medievalists an entirely new and welcome perspective on medievalisms in media. Furthermore, because Elliott has paid such close attention to making his ideas understandable to a broad audience, the book or particular chapters can be assigned to upper-level undergraduate students. (Mine loved it, and it prompted some of our best discussions.) . . . This book has been a revelation for me and my own scholarship and teaching.
