On the 17th and 18th of August 2012, the conference that led to this volume took place at Saint Catherine's College, the University of Western Australia. Co-sponsored by the UWA Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies and the Perth Medieval and Renaissance Group, this conference sought to explore cultural appropriations in, by and of the medieval and early modern world, across a range of disciplines. This volume represents a selection of these papers, outlining the many ways by which the pre-modern was, has, or will be adapted and appropriated to fit new and diverse contexts.
