Medievalist symbols and ideals were widely invoked as a response to industrialization and the Enlightenment, feeding into art, architecture, literature, and culture, from the knightly tales of Sir Walter Scott to the proliferation of Gothic architecture. Medievalist ideals also had a powerful influence beyond Europe, as many colonial officials, soldiers, and settlers saw themselves as modern heirs of medieval knighthood, spreading Christianity and \u201ccivilization\u201d as part of their perceived imperial mission. Medieval symbols and narratives were eagerly taken up in European settler societies, including the United States, Australia, and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this talk, I examine the development of medievalism in Japan, which confronted Western imperialism \u2013 and built its own empire \u2013 during what I call the \u201cglobal medievalist moment\u201d from the 1840s to the 1960s. This was an age of imperialism, colonialism, and nationalism, and societies around the world looked to discover and mine their own medieval pasts for national symbols and legitimacy. In this context, I examine the reinvention of the samurai warriors and other symbols of medieval Japan, and the important role these play in Japan\u2019s modern history. I further explore how Japanese medievalism came to be recognized and even celebrated in the West, especially after Japan\u2019s defeat of Russia in 1905, and how the confluence of Japanese and European medievalism influenced views of the Middle Ages in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oleg Benesch<\/strong>\u00a0is Professor of East Asian History at the University of York.
