Summary
"Knights and ladies, giants and dragons, tournaments, battles, quests and crusades are commonplace in stories for children. This book examines how late Victorians and Edwardians retold medieval narratives of chivalry--epics, romances, sagas, legends and ballads. This book examines related contexts of Medievalism expressed in painting, architecture, music, public celebrations, and the works of major authors"--
