The conceit behind Medievalism is that Europe, especially Western Europe, was relatively unified enough during the Middle Ages and different enough from both the Ancient World and from the Europe that emerged after a series of landmark events around 1500 AD (from say as early as the Black Death through the Italian Renaissance, the invention of the printing press, the Age of Exploration, the Protestant Reformation, and going perhaps as very late as the Treaty of Westphalia) that it can form a coherent subject.
That's all you need to know. "Medievalism" refers to a specific, limited geographic area during a specific time period.
