                  <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>

Set in fourteenth-century  France at the court of King Francis I, the plot centres on a  professional fool and a youthful duchess who falls in love with him.  Although professional fools were common in medieval courtly  circles, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"&gt;the reviewer tells the reader, &amp;ldquo;mostly they were hunchbacks or deformed, but this one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; was an Adonis&lt;/span&gt;&amp;rdquo;, and also a troubadour. Summing up, the reviewer  concludes that &amp;ldquo;There is a good deal of the atmosphere of the times and  much that is realistic in the lives of these professional fools&amp;rdquo; and  &amp;ldquo;the characterisation of the sensual king and  his nobles is convincing&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
