                  <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;This piece titled &amp;ldquo;Robin Hood&amp;rdquo; in the &amp;lsquo;Amusements&amp;rsquo; section of the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper appeared on June 30, 1928. It brings to attention a new production of the comic/light opera Robin Hood at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in the Royal Botanic Gardens, formerly the stables of Government House. Elsewhere on the same page in the &amp;lsquo;Music and Drama&amp;rsquo; section there is a complimentary article to remind readers of two previous seasons of the opera, and to discuss the opera&amp;rsquo;s origins and style. The &amp;lsquo;rustic&amp;rsquo; opera by Americans Reginald De Koven (music) and Harry B. Smith (libretto) was written in Chicago in the 1880s and, according to the newspaper article, features comic treatment of the characters of the Sherriff and Sir Guy. The opera is based on the popular adventures of the outlaw Robin Hood and is set in Nottingham, England, during the reign of Richard I (the Lionheart) during his time abroad on crusade.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
