All Things Medieval discussion

Hello - I'm wondering if you might be able to help me please. I am a medievalist, and I'm working on a paper on depictions of medievalists in modern fiction. Can anyone think of any examples please? Any genre of fiction, apart from things set in a medieval period. I know this is probably a strange place to post this, but I'm hoping that characters in other works might have leapt out at you because you are so interested in medieval history.

Many thanks for any help.

Murder at the War: A Modern-Day Mystery With a Medieval Setting

Most M.R. James stories feature a medievalist who asks too many questions .. James was a Medieval scholar himself : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._R._James

Thanks to you both! :-)

Anthony Price's Cold War thrillers have a protag who trained as a medievalist. His favourite historical figure is William Marshal.

Connie Willis's Doomsday Book series: students go back in time to study history at first hand. The protag of the first lands in the middle of the fourteenth century.

Thanks! I'll follow up on these.

As I recall, the protagonist of Geraldine Brooks' *People of the Book* is something of a medievalist, though her primary designation is "rare book expert."
