                  <text>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.</text>

                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>&lt;span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;This painting by prominent English artist J M W Turner was gifted to the National Gallery of Victoria in 1888 by the Duke of Westminster. Depicting castle ruins on a rugged cliff top above a stormy ocean, this painting is, as Ted Gott et al suggest, an early work in what would become Turner&amp;rsquo;s grand theme: &amp;ldquo;man&amp;rsquo;s heroic fragility in the face of the powers of nature&amp;rdquo;. (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Ted Gott et al, &lt;em&gt;19th Century Painting and Sculpture in the International Collections of the National Gallery of Victoria&lt;/em&gt;, Melbourne, National Gallery of Victoria, 2003, p.12).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;It is also characteristic of the aesthetic of &amp;lsquo;The Sublime&amp;rsquo;, which became popular in the late eighteenth century. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;The ruins featured in the painting are those of fourteenth-century Dunstanburgh Castle, on the Northumbrian English coast. The castle was built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster in 1313&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"&gt;as a military stronghold and possibly, from the grandness of its scale, as a symbol of his opposition to the reigning English monarch Edward II (against whom he would lead a failed rebellion that ended with his execution in 1322). The castle passed to John of Gaunt at the end of the fourteenth century, at which time the twin towers were converted to a keep and an inner and outer bailey were constructed to strengthen the castle&amp;rsquo;s position as a fortress. It was also twice besieged and captured by Yorkists during the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses. For more on Dunstanburgh Castle, see the English Heritage website: &lt;a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/dunstanburgh-castle/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/dunstanburgh-castle/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;</text>
