A Knight at the Movies: Medieval
History on Film John Aberth |
|
In A Knight at the Movies, historian John Aberth separates fact from fiction in cinematic favorites
from the silent era to today, including Camelot, Excalibur, and Braveheart. With an eye for anachronistic
detail, he reminds us that A Knight at
the Movies takes us behind the stock images of knights in shinning armor and
damsels in distress, illuminating how real life in the Middle Ages compares
with what we have seen on the silver screen. This richly entertaining and
deeply informative book is essential reading for anyone interested in history
and film. |
