Description
Medieval America analyzes literary, legal, and historical archives that help tell a new story about the
formation of American culture. Against Cold War–era studies of U.S. culture that argued, following political
scientist Louis Hartz’s “liberal consensus” model, that the United States emerged from the Revolutionary era
free from Europe’s feudal institutions and uninterested in the production of its medieval culture productions,
Robert Yusef Rabiee contends that feudal law and medieval literature were structural components of the
American cultural imaginary in the nineteenth century. The racial, gender, and class formations that emerged
in the first era of U.S. nation building were deeply indebted to medieval social, political, and religious
thoughtan observation that challenges the liberal consensus model and allows us to better grasp how
American social roles developed. Far from casting off feudal tradition, the early United States folded
feudalism into its emerging liberal order, creating a knotted system of values and practices that continue to
structure the American experience. Sometimes, the feudal residuum contradicted the liberal values of the
Unites States. Other times, the feudal residuum bolstered those values, revealing deep sympathies between
so-called “modern” and “premodern” political thought. Medieval America thus aims to reorient our
discussions about American cultural and political development in terms of the long arc of European history.
