From Martyr to Monument: The Abbey of Cluny as Cultural Patrimony (Book)
Title: From Martyr to Monument: The Abbey of Cluny as Cultural Patrimony
Author: Janet T. Marquardt
Abstract: After the French Revolution and the dissolution of the monastic orders, the great Abbey of Cluny in France was closed and the buildings were sold for materials. In 1927, Kenneth Conant came from Harvard to excavate the site with American funding in order to prepare full-scale reconstructive drawings of the abbey. This study follows the discursive history of the site while investigating the role of memory in the construction of the past and the development of the conception of heritage and patrimony in France.

Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages (Book)
Title: Medieval Art and Architecture after the Middle Ages
Editor: Janet T. Marquardt and Alyce A. Jordan
Abstract: This book explores the endurance of and nostalgia for medieval monuments through their reception in later periods, specifically illuminating the myriad ways in which tangible and imaginary artifacts of the Middle Ages have served to articulate contemporary aspirations and anxieties. The essays in this interdisciplinary collections examine the afterlife of medieval works through their preservation, restoration, appropriation, and commodification in America, Great Britain, and across Europe from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The authors assembled here engage a diverse spectrum of works, from Irish ruins and a former Florentine prison to French churches and American department stores, and an equally diverse array of media ranging from architecture and manuscripts to embroidery, monumental sculpture, and metalwork. With applications not only to the study of art and architecture, but also encompassing such varied fields as commerce, city planning, education, literature, collecting and exhibition design, this copiously illustrated anthology comprises a significant contribution to the study of medieval art and medievalism.

Un Romantique à la recherche du passé: K. J. Conant à Cluny (Article)
Title: Un Romantique à la recherche du passé: K. J. Conant à Cluny
Author: Janet T. Marquardt
Abstract: Dans cet article, Janet T. Marquardt présente Kenneth John Conant, l'Américain qui fouilla la troisième abbatiale de Cluny (1927-1950), financé pour l'essentiel par l'Academie médiévale d'Amérique. L'A. affirme que l'oeuvre de Conant résulte d'une triple influence : les exigences de ses commanditaires et de ses supporters, les restrictions impos´ées par les institutions locales, de même que ses propres conceptions, héritées du XIXe s., concernant le romanticisme des ruines et la piété médiévale ; enfin, Conant était mu par l'ambition d'entrer dans le cercle des maîtres de l'histoire de l'art de la France...
