Amid the three opening essays, Amy S. Kaufman examines how three modern novelists have refracted contemporary corporate culture through an imagined and highly dystopic Middle Ages. On either side of that paper, Elizabeth Emery and Richard Utz explore how the Woolworth Company and Google have variously promoted, distorted, appropriated, resisted, and repudiated post-medieval interpretations of the Middle Ages. And Clare Simmons expands on that approach in a full-length article on the Lord Mayor's Show in London.\u003cbr\u003e Readers are then invited to find other permutations of corporate influence in six articles on the gendering of Percy's \u003ci\u003eReliques\u003c\/i\u003e, the Romantic Pre-Reformation in Charles Reade's \u003ci\u003eThe Cloister and the Hearth\u003c\/i\u003e, renovation and resurrection in M.R. James's \"Episode of Cathedral History\", salvation in the \u003ci\u003eCommedia\u003c\/i\u003e references of Rodin's \u003ci\u003eGates of Hell\u003c\/i\u003e, film theory and the relationship of the Sister Arts to the cinematic \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e, and American containment culture in medievalist comic-books. While offering close, thorough studies of traditional media and materials, the volume directly engages timely concerns about the motives and methods behind this field and many others inacademia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Karl Fugelso is Professor of Art History at Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Contributors: Aida Audeh, Elizabeth Emery, Katie Garner, Nickolas Haydock, Amy S.
