                  <text>This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Ancient Arts Fellowship, Inc. is a medieval re-enactment group based in Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. They focus on the &amp;lsquo;Dark Ages&amp;rsquo;, or early medieval period, especially the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century through to the Norman invasion of England in 1066. Geographically the focus is on northern Europe and Britain, featuring such peoples as Anglo-Saxons, Normans, and Vikings. They hold an annual camping weekend in October at Beorg-wic, part of The Danelaw property (named after the part of England settled by Vikings and where aspects of Danish law was used). During the weekend re-enactors participate in fighting, craft, archery, and feasting. Payment for the event is referred to as Danegeld (a payment made to make Vikings not attack), and catering is provided by the Vinland Coffee House (&lt;em&gt;Vinland&lt;/em&gt; was the name given by Viking explorers for part of north America. &lt;em&gt;Beorg-wic &lt;/em&gt;is Old English for hill settlement.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
