The cultural history of the British monarchy can be characterised as a set of negotiations between the rival claims of tradition and modernity. The monarchy depends on its medieval past for cultural authority while also constantly seeking to reform and renew itself. This project analyses one of the monarchy's oldest rituals, the Order of the Garter, using its contested medieval origins and subsequent history as a powerful symptomatic register of the strategies by which the monarchy adapts its traditional heritage to changing social contexts. Comprehending this dynamic will revise our understanding of the relationship between medieval culture, tradition and modernity.

英国君主制的文化史可以被描述为传统和现代的对立主张之间的一系列谈判。君主制依靠其中世纪的历史来获得文化权威，同时也不断寻求改革和自我更新。该项目分析了君主制最古老的仪式之一，嘉德勋章，使用其有争议的中世纪起源和随后的历史作为君主制调整其传统遗产以适应不断变化的社会背景的战略的有力症状登记册。理解这一动态将修正我们对中世纪文化、传统和现代之间关系的理解。
