Description
An account of the resource
<p>‘Alfred Was Great King’ is an anonymous article that appeared in the Charters Towers, Queensland, newspaper <em>The Northern Miner</em> in 1954. The article is about the ninth-century Anglo-Saxon/English king Alfred of Wessex, or Alfred the Great. The article enthusiastically supports his title and discusses Alfred’s achievements – saving Wessex from Danish (Viking) invaders, laying the foundations for English law, beginning its naval tradition, and promoting education and prose literature. A lot of text is devoted to another of Alfred’s achievements, the establishment of the Old English Chronicle, now usually referred to as the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is described in the article as ‘the first great work in English prose’. </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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>An image of one of a series of colourful and elaborate figural windows with trefoil heads created especially for The University of Sydney by the London firm of Clayton & Bell (c. 1859-60). The window depicts three well-known medieval writers: Geoffrey Chaucer (l), the jurist John Fortescue (c), and James I of Scotland (r). Each of the three figures is fully ‘canopied,’ a self-conscious nineteenth-century ‘medievalism’ that lends an ecclesiastical dignity to the overall composition. The Great Hall at the University of Sydney is functionally a place of assembly, and its appearance is strikingly similar to the choir of a medieval church. The Hall is designed to invoke the ambience, seriousness, and sense of achievement of the great medieval seats-of-learning established at Oxford and Cambridge. The collection of windows gathered within its walls is one of the finest anywhere in Australia, and encompasses a variety of themes, including those of learning, patronage, royalty and corporate endeavour.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Will Schaefer’s novel ‘The Wolf Letters’ is a murder-mystery set in England in 1936, but the murders relate to events in the eighth century. An historian investigates. The novel was inspired by the life of the Anglo-Saxon missionary Winfrith/St Boniface. Amongst information directly related to the novel, the associated website includes recommendations for those wanting to read Anglo-Saxon literature and invites people to contact the author, who has an Honours degree in History from UWA, about Anglo-Saxon literature. The website also includes photographs of some of the creative publicity used to advertise the book, including a ‘medieval marathon’, by bicycle, around the Swan River with the author dressed as a warrior-monk being chased by four devils!</p>
<p>The Anglo-Saxon Winfrith/St Boniface is often referred to as the Apostle of the Germans and was the first archbishop of Mainz. He was killed trying to convert the Frisians in 754 or 755. </p>

Description
An account of the resource
An illustrated story on page 48? Of the Brisbane newspaper, The Queenslander, published on 23 November, 1907. The story by Jennie Hall is about a young Viking from Denmark named Olaf who, as the youngest son, has to ‘go a-Viking’ (raiding) in order to accumulate wealth. He builds a ship with a dragon prow and leads a crew to Norway where they successfully raid along the coast. After forcing themselves upon a local farming household the Danes end up having a pleasant evening with the farmer and his family and reward them richly with gifts the following morning. The crew are then defeated in a naval battle by the fleet of king Halfdan and all die except Olaf who becomes a ‘thrall’ (servant) of Halfdan. The characters also invoke aspects Norse mythology, including Valhalla and the gods Odin and Thor. The story was taken from ‘Prairie Farmer’ and includes an illustration of the armed Vikings bursting into the farmhouse.
