Tapestries, Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Romantic or Victorian poetry, all drew inspiration from MaloryвЂ™s Morte dвЂ™Arthur, among other texts, to celebrate a pristine, vanished past of entwined motifs and garlands of great deeds and declarations of love. 1) The Historical FrameДў Victorian medievalism recreated the Middle Ages as a legendary period of feats and courtly love.

From 1977 to 1994, Ellis Peters (whose real name was Edith Pargeter) chose to transpose detective fiction (a genre which was born in the nineteenth century with writers like Wilkie Collins and Conan Doyle), back in the Middle Ages.
