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
The current Sydney City Library building in Haymarket was built for the Commercial Banking Corporation of Sydney in 1875. The sandstone building on the corner of George and Hay Streets incorporates a number of architectural styles that can be traced back to the medieval period. The ground level of the building has semi-circular arched windows and doorway (not in photograph) in the Romanesque Revival style. Semi-circular arched windows are also featured on the second storey, but the pointed arch mouldings above the windows are in the Gothic Revival style. The small windows on the third storey have Tudor arches. The columns with decorated capitals on the second and third storeys are also common in Romanesque, as well as Classical, architecture.

<p>A 2012 television advertisement for Suncorp Banking features a bank lender briefly appearing to a couple as their hero, a medieval knight wearing plate armour. He is literally a knight in shining armour as a halo appears around his upper body, and the knight speaks to them using such antiquated terms as ‘Hurrah!’. The advertisement suggests knights fulfill the role of recognizable heroes amongst the Australian public.</p>

<p>St George Bank was formed in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1937 and is now a subsidiary of Westpac Banking Corporation. Despite its name, the logo of the bank fails to depict St George himself, but instead has a stylised head of a fire-breathing dragon, alluding to the popular tale of St George killing a dragon. The tale is thought to have been brought to Western Europe by crusaders returning from the Holy Lands in the eleventh century.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
This article from the online news site Perth Now reports on Australian Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan’s decision not follow the lead of European nations such as France and introduce a financial transactions tax to deal with economic crisis. Such a measure would slow economic growth, Swan said, because it would affect the transactions that Australian businesses engaged in every day and raise the cost of capital. French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s plan to introduce a 0.1 per cent tax on all financial transactions has been dubbed a “Robin Hood†tax. This name stems from the legendary medieval outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor, because it imposes taxation on businesses and investors in order to help the ailing economy.

Description
An account of the resource
In the second half of this article, the author draws attention to the positive response with which a plan to establish a system of post office orders in the Western Australian colony had been met. After conceding that there were two or three members of the Executive who opposed the plan on the grounds that it would be dangerous to transport cash on mail-carts, the author goes on to suggest that the real source of the opposition was the W. A. Bank, who did not want to relinquish monopoly on all financial and monetary matters in Western Australia. The author concludes that the proposed system is sorely needed to bring Western Australia into line with the other colonies for the purpose of conducting business, and denounces opposition by negatively linking it to a desire to dwell in the pre-modern past: “is the colony always to be kept in a medieval condition by men whose notions appear to be regulated by those which prevailed in the time of Henry the Eighth?â€
