A call for shorter papers on Neo-medievalism Media in the New Millennium, with a deadline of 28th February 2021. The editor sees neo-medievalism as mainstreaming with the Lord of the Rings movies, and flowing into key popular media such as Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, The Witcher, Game of Thrones, etc. He seems to envisage a sort of primer, with short chapters introducing and positioning specific titles for academics. No mention of the resulting book being Open Access.

The list of suggested media made me aware there was a Marco Polo TV series in 2014. I remember I enjoyed the lavish 1982 Marco Polo 10-hour series, one of the best of the 1980s and pre-PC. But according to the Hollywood Reporter the 2014 Netflix series had “dismal reviews” and was a “mess”. Oh well.
