Title A name given to the resource Medievalism on the Page Description An account of the resource 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 children’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.

Title A name given to the resource Viking Valour Subject The topic of the resource Beserker, fiction, Samuel Hirsdon, Norseman, pagan, Perth, short story, Sunday Times, Viking, WA, Western Australia Description An account of the resource A story by Samuel Hirsdon in the ‘3 Short Stories for Week-End Reading’ section of the Perth newspaper the Sunday Times on October 29, 1939. The story is about a group of Norsemen at sea (led by the curiously named Sir Ranulf, which does not sound particularly Norse) who accidently land in North America. The lone woman in the group is kidnapped by native ‘savages’ and later rescued by a mysterious Viking Beserker named Brand after he kills a number of her captors with his bare hands. Beserkers are found in Old Norse poetry and sagas and appear to have been people who were particularly ferocious fighters and wore bear skins into battle.
