Medievalism on the Page
Description
An account of the resource
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 children’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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>‘The Talisman’ is an article by Robert Power published in 1924 in the ‘Two Minute Talks’ section of the Launceston newspaper the Examiner. The article is about the importance of putting ones faith in God rather than superstitious charms. The article opens by mentioning the talisman of ‘great heroes’, all of whom are medieval.<br />Hereward the Wake (who fought against the Normans in England in 1070-1) had magic armour, Charlemagne’s knight Roland (whose feats are told in the eleventh-century poem The Song of Roland) had an important horn, and King Arthur and his knights have the supernatural sword Excalibur.</p>
