Medievalism on the Streets
Description
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>Nina Levy’s review of Graeme Murphy’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet by the Australian Ballet appeared in the online version of The West Australian newspaper on October 12, 2012. It includes a photograph by Jeff Busby. Although the review is positive overall, Levy criticises the ‘variety of locations in time and place’. These include ‘medieval-looking vaulted rooms’ which presumably had vaulted ceilings. Ribbed vaulting was a characteristic feature of Gothic architecture of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. </p>

Medievalism on the Page
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection examines literary medievalism from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It traces an arc from the populist literary medievalism of the nineteenth century, through the more rarefied modernist turn of the mid-twentieth century, to the re-emergence of popular forms such as children’s literature and fantasy since the 1980s. In this Collection you will find items relating to printed medievalist works and also to medievalism operating in print, for example in references to medieval events, people, and literature in nineteenth- and twentieth-century texts and dramatic works.
Still Image
A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials.

Description
An account of the resource
‘Hop’ produced this <em>Bulletin</em> cartoon at a time when J. C. Williamson’s theatre company was staging William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Sydney. The popular young American actress Miss Tittell Brune was in the starring role, with Mr R. A. Greenaway as Romeo and Mr Roy Redgrave (patriarch of the famous English acting family) as Mercutio (See <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, Nov 12, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?</a>) Judging from reviews written at the time, Miss Brune’s “charming” balcony performance was hugely successful (See, for example, <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, Nov 16, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?</a>). So, Hop’s cartoon was not only timely but also bound to raise a laugh or a smile of recognition from Sydney theatre-goers. The NSW government was barely into its fifth month of office, and Sir Joseph Carruthers − who was both premier and treasurer − had inherited the difficult task of dealing with accumulated State debts. <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em> calculated that NSW owed around £4,310,000, to be paid-off over thirty years (<em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, October 10, 1904, p. 6. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?</a>). Subsequently, Hop depicts premier Carruthers fawning and gesticulating to a bored and stereotypically Jewish financier. In the background, three spheres suspended in the night sky represent usury. Hop’s critique of the NSW economy is clearly designed to keep the matter firmly under continuous (and sceptical) public scrutiny.

Title

Medievalism at the Foundations
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

Description
An account of the resource
This oil on canvas painting by nineteenth-century artist Frederic Leighton was acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia with funds from the Elder Bequest in 1899. Titled ‘The Feigned Death of Juliet’ it depicts a scene from William Shakespeare’s tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet'. In Act IV Scene V of the play, Count Paris arrives at the Capulet house with Friar Laurence to claim Juliet as his bride. However, instead of finding her ready to proceed to the church to be wed, he discovers Juliet seemingly lifeless in her chamber. In Leighton’s painting, Juliet is shown lying on a bed surrounded by her mother, her nurse, her father and Count Paris. Friar Laurence hovers in the corner and a band of musicians congregate by the open door with their instruments. Although the play was written in the 1590s, it is set in Verona in an earlier (but unspecified) period. The characters in the painting are all depicted wearing styles of dress typical of the High Middle Ages.
