An account of the resource
This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This online article by Carol Raabus was posted in 2009 on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Hobart page. It is about local man Doug Pattison and his re-creation of siege engines. He has built a trebuchet, first used in the twelfth century, and a ballista (a large version of a crossbow), which was first used by the classical Greeks and remained popular until replaced by the trebuchet. Doug sometimes gives public performances of the weapons.</p>
<p>For the story, including a clip of the trebuchet in action, see <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/local/videos/2009/04/21/2548797.htm">http://www.abc.net.au/local/videos/2009/04/21/2548797.htm</a></p>
