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.

An account of the resource
<p>This online article from the <em>Perth Now</em> website describes the fourth season finale show of TV programme <em>Beauty & the Geek Australia</em>, from which contestants Chard and Millie emerged as winners. Pursuing a ‘happily ever after’ fairytale theme, the article explains, the first part of the show ‘involved a series of medieval challenges’ – namely jousting and reciting sonnets – for which the couples dressed up as knights and princesses. This was followed by a masquerade ball. Beauty & the Geek was broadcast in Australia in 2012 by the Channel 7 network.</p>

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.

The castle was known as Old King Cole’s Castle, named after the figure in the British folk song/nursery rhyme. The small brick castle is reached by crossing a moat and has an arched entrance, crenellation, a tower, and balistraria (arrowslits).

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.

A Photograph of Act 1, Scene 4 from a 1974 stage performance of "Rumpelstiltskin" at the Alexander Theatre, Monash University, featuring Beverley Gardiner as Gretchen and Penelope Richards and Paul Kennedy as the two knights.
“Rumpelstiltskin†is a children’s fairytale by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. It was first written in 1812 and expanded in 1857. It tells the story of a Miller’s daughter who is forced to spin straw into gold on threat of her life for three successive nights. A little man appears and offers to spin the straw for reward. On the first night she gives him her necklace, on the second her ring but on the third she has nothing to give and promises him her first born child. Years later, after she has married the king and has her first child, the man appears and gives the queen three days to guess his name or he will take her child. After two days of guessing to no avail, the queen’s messenger (according to the 1857 version) stumbles upon the man dancing and singing in a house in the forest. The song he sings mentions his name, which the queen correctly reveals the following day. Although no date is given in the tale, the characters - involving a king, a queen and royal knights - and the importance of the spinning wheel are often assumed to indicate a medieval setting.
