Press release: Robert Mills, Suspended Animation
"I'm gonna get medieval on yo' ass." When Marsellus Wallace declares this statement in the film Pulp Fiction, we know he is about to bring down an especially fierce and exacting punishment. But is the cultural gulf between medieval times and the present day actually as wide as we imagine? Robert Mills examines here how medieval literature and images of sexuality, torture, and religious ecstasy resonate today with contemporary issues, revealing that the chasm between medieval times and modernity is smaller than one might imagine.
