 Clemence Dane's series of radio plays, "The Saviours" (1942), used a historical Arthur to embody the spirit of heroic resistance against desperate odds, and Robert Sherriff's play "The Long Sunset" (1955) saw Arthur rallying Romano-British resistance against the Germanic invaders.This trend towards placing Arthur in a historical setting is also apparent in historical and fantasy novels published during this period.Arthur has also been used as a model for modern-day behaviour.
