Rowling-Renaissance?
The Rowling-Renaissance link is critical. The Reformation viewed the Middle Ages as corrupt/hierarchical, and the Enlightenment viewed it as superstitious and chaotic. The Renaissance merely viewed it as incomplete. As such, the Renaissance may share a good deal more with “medievalism” than either of the other two. I may take this blog in the direction of exploring the possibilities of using Rowling’s work to revitalize the Renaissance ideal, and attempt to relate this to the Inklings.
