                  <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>Working or labour songs were a feature of nineteenth century (and later) union gatherings and processions. The songs and communal singing evoke peasant or folk traditions. The song gives the workers the high-ground because they resort to moral rather than bellicose means to gain the Eight Hours Day. They are proud to declare they did not shed blood for their â€˜crownâ€™.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
Transliteration from Trove [HH]&#13;
&#13;
All hail to the Knights of Labor!&#13;
All hail to the Eight Hours Day!&#13;
Far better than wielding the sabre,&#13;
Is your peaceful and grand display.&#13;
Your banners float proudly over&#13;
To tell how your cause was won&#13;
Since the time when your day would cover&#13;
From rising to setting sun.&#13;
&#13;
But do not forget you have brothers&#13;
Who toll in the midnightâ€™s gloom,&#13;
Or sisters, perchance, or others&#13;
Who are wasting their youthful bloom;&#13;
Who sweat when they world is sleeping,&#13;
To win starvationâ€™s meat,&#13;
With no relief save weeping â€“ &#13;
Their lot is hard indeed.&#13;
&#13;
All hail to our glorious Union!&#13;
Success to the A.M.A.!&#13;
That fought like brave and true men&#13;
Till they gained the Eight Hours Day.&#13;
No sanguine conflict marred the strife, &#13;
â€˜Twas moral force alone&#13;
That gained the glorious victory&#13;
That might adorn a throne.&#13;
