The colleagues at the University of Bamberg, Germany, together with colleagues from all over the world, are honoring our friend, Christoph Houswitschka, with a beautiful Festschrift of more than 600 pages. Honored to be part of this volume, with an article "Our Daily Middle Ages," that surveys the impact and value of medievalism studies as a field and its bridge function between academic and non-academic creativity. In fact, there is an entire section on medievalisms in this essay collection, which is available via open access right here.
