                  <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>Victor Daley was an Irishman who came to Australia as a young man. He wrote romantic verse and was referred to by Vivian Smith as, &amp;ldquo;one of the most attractive poets of the nineties in Australia&amp;rdquo; (Vivian Smith, &amp;lsquo;Poetry&amp;rsquo;, &lt;em&gt;The Oxford History of Australian Literature&lt;/em&gt;, ed. by Leonie Kramer, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1981, p.319). He also wrote under the pen-name Creeve Roe (trans. &amp;lsquo;Red Branch&amp;rsquo;), which conjures the image of a &amp;ldquo;Celtic bard singing ancient songs&amp;rdquo; in an unmistakably Antipodean context (Louise D&amp;rsquo;Arcens, &lt;em&gt;Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910&lt;/em&gt;, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.124). In this period poem, Daley praises the memory of Jack Cade, a Kentish rebel leader who died in 1450. The poem critiques Shakespeare&amp;rsquo;s treatment of Cade in Henry VI, Part II. Daley&amp;rsquo;s objective seems to be setting the record straight and praising Jack Cade for his courage. He also seeks to summon local resistance to social values that he thinks have no place in an Australian bush setting. Addressing the English Bard directly he states, &amp;ldquo;I think thy mediaeval / social views suit not this clime.&amp;rdquo; The denouement, which involves a fight between the well-nourished Kentish squire Alexander Iden and the near-starving disconsolate rebel Cade, produces imagery of John Bull, over-stuffed with English beef, taking-on those who are ill-prepared for resistance. It is a decidedly one-sided encounter, and the outcome &amp;ndash; Cade&amp;rsquo;s death &amp;ndash; is never seriously in doubt. The rationale for condemnation is that the likes of Alexander Iden, depicted &amp;ldquo;Gasconading in his garden,&amp;rdquo; frequently attract undeserved honours and knighthoods, while the impoverished people (Jack Cade among them) fare ignominiously. The poem closes after encouraging the downtrodden to take their lead from Cade, and concludes with a toast to the memory of his brave deeds.</text>
