                  <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>In this article from the Western Mail newspaper, notice is given about the publication  of Henry Jamesâ€™s novel â€œThe Other Houseâ€. The novel had been published by William Heinemann in London the previous year (1896). The author of the article warns that modern readers may not be prepared for the confronting nature of the murder at the heart of the novelâ€™s plot, in which the character of Rose Armiger drowns a four-year-old child and blames it on a rival in a complicated love triangle.  The article links Rose Armigerâ€™s â€˜wickednessâ€™ with a sense of medieval barbarity, suggesting that â€œit is only in medieval history that we are prepared to find murderers who wantonly destroy innocent babes for the sake of tacking the deed upon an enemyâ€. </text>
