‘Medieval Mania’

We’re in the grip of it, apparently. Quite an interesting piece here from the Telegraph yesterday. Philip Hensher wonders why medieval history and historical fiction is back in vogue.

Worth a glance.

PS at the moment I am racing through all the Fred Vargas crime fiction books I can lay my hands on in English translation. Most have some sort of historical, and usually medieval, twist to them. Seriously compulsive reading.
