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.

Description
An account of the resource
In this Western Mail column, a GP provides anecdotes from his consultations with patients. These include a man concerned about winter chills, a man whose father was either poisoned or died from appendicitis, a woman concerned about goitres and a patient to whom the doctor explained the difference between cat-gut and silkworm-gut stitches. At the end of the article is a section titled “Medieval Health, from this week’s readingâ€. Following two notes about the injurious historical practice of binding women’s waists and eighteenth-century corsets, this section contains the following curious comment about the perceived absence of psychiatric medicine in medieval England: “As ‘Punch’ points out, ‘The reason that there were no psychiatrists in medieval England is that the country was only sparsely inhabited’â€.
