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
A highly romanticised article on page 46 of the Brisbane newspaper The Queenslander on 17 May, 1934. The article reports on a male Viking warrior grave uncovered in Sweden. Among the various grave-goods found was a sword made in England. This leads the author to create a highly speculative account of a Viking raid on England and the sword being ‘taken from the dead hand of one who fell defending his home’. Other goods found accompanying this member of the ‘sea wolves’ included a horse, dog, a possible slave, gaming pieces and a possible slave. The article also mentions the ‘savage gods’ that the man was likely to worship and his preference to die abroad in battle. The article is a good example of the romantic speculation that the Vikings seem to encourage.
