The book argues that the temporal privilege of the medieval masks the extent to which the medieval and medievalistic are mutually constitutive and ultimately dependent not on absolutist epistemological claims but on how feelings and temperaments affect the way we approach the Middle Ages. -- .

Cartea sustine ca privilegiul temporal al medievalului mascheaza masura in care medievalul si medievalistul se constituie reciproc si, in cele din urma, nu depind de revendicarile epistemologice absolutiste, ci de modul in care sentimentele si temperamentele afecteaza modul in care abordam Evul Mediu. -.
