In the opening lines of Beowulf, the Anglo-Saxon poet evokes the ‘days of old’. Ever since, as this generously illustrated study demonstrates, writers, artists and musicians have drawn on a mythical English past. From Malory’s reinvention of King Arthur, through Victorian medievalism and the Sixties fashion for Victoriana, to today’s psychogeographers, it explores how successive generations have sought to reimagine this island’s history according to the ideals, anxieties and aspirations of their age.
