Teaching Medieval Chivalry in an Age of White Supremacy
Abstract
This essay examines the appropriation of medieval history by far-right British publications in the 1960s and 1970s, in the context of teaching medievalism to undergraduate students. It is informed by the author’s experience of designing and delivering an undergraduate course on chivalry in medieval and postmedieval context that utilises the resources of the Searchlight Archive, a significant repository for fascist and anti-fascist materials from British and international groups from 1965 to the near-present day.
