                  <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>

G. Fitzgibbon. In the cartoon Fitzgibbon is throwing a temper tantrum over the amount of money that should be allocated to the chairman (i.e. himself). The so-called &amp;lsquo;White Knight of Kerry&amp;rsquo; is depicted, as Louise D&amp;rsquo;Arcens suggests, as &amp;ldquo;a pompous undersized figure, absurd in his full suit of armour&amp;rdquo; (Louise D'Arcens,&lt;em&gt; Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, &lt;/em&gt; Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p.24). Additionally, Durkin&amp;rsquo;s reference to &amp;ldquo;Councillor Gibbon&amp;rdquo; implies that FitzGibbon is really plain Edmund Gibbon, and that he has &amp;lsquo;taken on airs and graces&amp;rsquo; by adding Fitz (an Anglo-Norman prefix meaning &amp;lsquo;son of&amp;rsquo;) to bolster his reputation and his claim to medieval ancestry. Fitzgibbon served in his role as chairman of the Board of Works for fourteen years until his death. For more information about him, see Bernard Barrett, 'FitzGibbon, Edmund Gerald (1825&amp;ndash;1905)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, &lt;a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/fitzgibbon-edmund-gerald-3530/text5439" target="_blank"&gt;http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/fitzgibbon-edmund-gerald-3530/text5439&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</text>
