Title A name given to the resource 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.

McMahon describes a visit to the city of Nuremburg in 1936. Arriving only days after one of the Nazi’s infamous Nuremburg rallies, he notes the swastika’s still lining the streets and parade ground. For most of the article, however, McMahon concentrates on explaining Nuremburg’s “splendid” medieval history, and the lasting traces of its past in the physical landscape. He describes tracing the line of the medieval walls, looking in awe at the large merchant houses with their elaborate adornments and recognising, as he looked over the city from the castle, why it’s winding streets and narrow alleys had always held such a fascination for artists and etchers. He identifies Nuremburg as a town famous for its medieval craft guilds, and describes the artistic training and accomplishments of its most famous son, Albrecht Dürer. He concludes by describing the mastery of the carving work by Adam Kraft in St Laurence’s Church, which carried the gaze up to the vaulted ceiling “like Shelley’s skylark”.

McMahon discusses a visit to Rothenburg in 1936, which he describes as “the finest surviving example of a medieval city with its walls, gates and towers”. After giving a brief history of Rothenburg’s medieval past, its conversion to Protestantism after the Peasants’ Revolt in 1525 and its involvement in the Thirty Years’ War, he recounts a folkloric tale about Burgomaster Nusch saving the town from being plundered in 1621, by plying the Catholic Commander-in-Chief Tilly and his Imperial soldiers with large quantities of wine and himself accepting a challenge to drink the contents of a very large goblet. This tale, McMahon suggests, began the tradition of performing the historical festival play, “Der Meistertrunk”, in the Rathaus (Town Hall) every Whitsuntide. He then moves on to discuss what he coins as “Hitler’s Historical Programme”. In Nazi Germany, he suggests, there is a renewed interest in German folklore, a “renaissance of interest in the heroic stories of the German people”. As well as the festival play in Rothenburg, he cites school pilgrimages to the homes of Goethe and Schiller, the founding of museums, and parades in historically significant locations such as Nuremburg as examples of this trend. He commends the “far-reaching educative influence of such a treatment of history”, suggesting that “we could, with profit, do much more of that form of pageantry in school entertainments and occasional celebrations”. He concludes, however, by taking issue with Hitler’s stance on religion. Not only were the church steeples and shrines he saw in Bavaria evidence of the continued importance of religious faith in the “simple God-fearing lives of peasant farmers”, he argues, the continuing legacy of gothic churches such as St James (built in 1373) and ecclesiastical artwork such as Riemenschneider’s 1478 “Last Supper” could simply not be overlooked.
