                  <text>This Collection examines literary medievalism from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It traces an arc from the populist literary medievalism of the nineteenth century, through the more rarefied modernist turn of the mid-twentieth century, to the re-emergence of popular forms such as childrenâ€™s literature and fantasy since the 1980s. In this Collection you will find items relating to printed medievalist works and also to medievalism operating in print, for example in references to medieval events, people, and literature in nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts and dramatic works.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;David McKee Wright draws inspiration from the journeys of the Vikings across the North Sea in this poetic martial &amp;lsquo;ditty&amp;rsquo; that brims with national pride:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Australia with her bright hair glowing&lt;br /&gt;Has her eye on the furrows of the deep &lt;br /&gt;[...] &lt;br /&gt;Clang, clang, clang on the anvil &lt;br /&gt;There are steel ships wanted on the sea!&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The reason for Wright&amp;rsquo;s show of enthusiasm was doubtless the creation of the Australian Navy in 1909. Billy Hughes told the &lt;em&gt;Sydney Morning Herald&lt;/em&gt; in 1910 that &amp;ldquo;Mr Deakin had taken Mr Watson&amp;rsquo;s scheme [c. 1905] and adorned it with that magnificent eloquence of his till it shone [...] But it was a thing in the clouds [...] The Fisher Government transformed it into iron and steel and guns&amp;rdquo; (See The &lt;em&gt;Sydney Morning Herald&lt;/em&gt;, Wednesday, 16 February 1910, pp. 9-10. &lt;a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15133137" target="_self"&gt;http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15133137&lt;/a&gt;). When the fleet eventually arrived off Australian shores in October 1913, it was welcomed &amp;ldquo;By very large and demonstrative crowds [...] and fervently patriotic speeches were made at the welcoming banquet&amp;rdquo; (F. K. Crowley, &lt;em&gt;A New History of Australia&lt;/em&gt;, Richmond, William Heinemann, 1984, p.294). During the Federal electioneering of February 1910, the fleet featured large in the overall proceedings. The Deakin-Cook Fusion Party lost the 1910 election, but Australia still got its navy, and balladeers and patriots sang its praises.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>At the end of World War II, Australian sailors of the vessel HMAS AUSTRALIA are depicted as heroic warriors (young and bronzed) who are privileged to march the medieval streets of Old London to dine and mingle with the Admiralty in the bombed London Guildhall. The backdrop of broken medieval stained-glass windows, shattered monuments and the temporary tin Hall roof highlights British pride in their Old World heritage but invokes powerful metaphors of victory amid ruins with the assistance of the New World, Australia. &#13;
