1 8 4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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.

Title A name given to the resource ‘Chaucer at the Court of Edward III’, by Ford Madox Brown Subject The topic of the resource Alice Perrers (1348-1400), anniversary, art, artwork, birthday, Black Prince (1330-1376), Court, Custance, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), Edward III (1312-1377), English language, Geoffrey Chaucer (c.1343-1400), history painting, jester, John of Gaunt (1340-1399), knight, ‘Legend of Custance’, Lute, palace of Sheen, poetry, Pre-Raphaelite, reading, royalty, troubadour. Description An account of the resource This large oil on canvas history painting by Victorian artist Ford Madox Brown was purchased (directly from the artist) by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1876. Subtitled &ldquo;Geoffrey Chaucer Reading the &lsquo;Legend of Custance&rsquo; to Edward III and his Court, at the Palace of Sheen, on the Anniversary of the Black Prince&rsquo;s Forty-Fifth Birthday&rdquo;, the painting depicts Geoffrey Chaucer reading aloud to King Edward III and his Court. In addition to Chaucer and Edward III, other fourteenth-century figures featured in the painting include the King&rsquo;s two sons, Edward the Black Prince and John of Gaunt, and his mistress Alice Perrers. The figure of Chaucer has been modelled on the famous Pre-Raphaelite and Brown&rsquo;s close friend, Dante Gabriel Rosetti. However, scholars have noted the lengths to which Brown went to ensure historical accuracy in both costuming and facial resemblances, which included consulting and purchasing antiquarian volumes on medieval furniture and dress and also visiting tombs and effigies (see, for example, Angela Thirwell, Tim Barringer &amp; Laura MacCulloch, <em>Ford Madox Brown: The Unofficial Pre-Raphaelite</em>, D. Giles, 2008). Chaucer was a common subject for Ford Madox Brown (and the nineteenth-century medieval revival more generally) on account of his prominent role in popularising the English language (over French and Latin) and his widely-held reputation as the &lsquo;Father of English poetry&rsquo;. This enabled the Victorians, Velma Bourgeois Richmond has argued, to revere him as a Protestant hero, because &ldquo;the development of the English language was crucial to breaking the hold of the Catholic Church by the clergy and to the formation of national identity&rdquo; (Velma Bourgeois Richmond, &ldquo;Ford Madox Brown&rsquo;s Protestant Medievalism: Chaucer and Wycliffe&rdquo;, <em>Christianity and Literature</em>, Vol.54, Issue 3, Spring 2005, p.366). The image was originally designed as the central panel in a triptych entitled <em>The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry</em>, and was to be flanked by portraits of famous poets such as Milton, Spenser, Shakespeare and Burns.

Title A name given to the resource 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.

Jerome, ‘The Passing of the Third Floor Back’ play, jester, pilgrims, pilgrim Description An account of the resource A.T. critiques three plays that have an angel or saint in them. Set in a Welsh village, ‘The Wind of Heaven’ is about a boy named Gwyn who works a miracle in a village devastated by cholera. He brings back to life a dead soldier and new hope to the soldier’s widow and the whole town. Jerome K. Jerome’s play about a mysterious Stranger is ‘the saint over-done’. The final play, ‘The Marvellous History of Saint Bernard’, divides its stage into heaven, earth and hell. This picture ‘was as real to the medieval mind as the Harbour Bridge is to us’. The author notes that it is illegal to depict the Deity on stage in England so Mary was substituted for God in the latter play. A.T. remarks that Bernard Shaw deployed similar techniques in his play ‘Saint Joan’. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource A.T.
