Almost a millennia ago a Welsh Monk, Geoffrey of Monmouth, created one of history’s most enduring myths, the legend of King Arthur. These tales of a Dark Age British King, his fellow Knights of the Round Table, the immortal Merlin and of course the sword Excalibur, have inspired the creation of a variety of artworks across the centuries. But it was in the 19th Century that the fashion for all things Medieval gripped Victorian Britain, why was this?  Why did the most technologically advanced, militarily successful and commercially prosperous nation of the age seem so willing to embrace a myth? Has Britain always been a country which revers the ‘Good Old Days’, if so, how and why can we discern evidence for this? This course considers those artworks created in the 19th Century which sought to channel the spirit of that supposed golden chivalric age.
