'In recent years scholars in medieval and early modern studies have been critically assessing the uses of postcolonial and subaltern theoretical perspectives in their fields, and considering what their periods have to say to postcolonial theorists. This book offers a series of original essays that explore with specificity the methodological, textual, cultural, and historiographic moves required for postcolonial engagements with pre-modern times.'--BOOK JACKET.

Antipodean Idylls : An Early Australian Translation of Tennyson's Medievalism,
single work
criticism
(p. 237-256)Louise D'Arcens discusses Woolley's lecture on Tennyson's Idylls of the King as 'a vehicle for exploring cultural life in the "young and uncemented" society of the antipodean colony.' D'Arcens writes that 'Woolley's reading of the Idylls provides a fascinating insight into how the Middle Ages could be reinterpreted to characterize Australia's - and especially Sydney's - nascent colonial identity in the mid-nineteenth century' (238).
