                  <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>&lt;p&gt;This production by theatre company KNUTS is a modern adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;The Canterbury Tales&lt;/em&gt; in two parts. Adapted by Stephen Quinn and directed by Stephen Lee, it transposes stories from Chaucer&amp;rsquo;s original text into a variety of different genres, ranging from Western to silent film, Victorian melodrama and a Shakespearean version of a Medieval Romance. Part One includes renditions of &amp;lsquo;The Pardoner&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo;, &amp;lsquo;The Miller&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;The Reeve&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo;, and Part Two &amp;lsquo;The Franklin&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo;, The Wife of Bath&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;The Merchant&amp;rsquo;s Tale&amp;rsquo;. This production featured as part of the Perth Fringe Festival in 2013, where &amp;lsquo;The Canterbury Tales: Part One&amp;rsquo; was performed from 7 February to 13 February and &amp;lsquo;The Canterbury Tales: Part Two&amp;rsquo; was performed the following week from 14 February to 19 February 2013. A positive review of &amp;lsquo;The Canterbury Tales: Part Two&amp;rsquo; from &lt;em&gt;The West Australian&lt;/em&gt; can be read at: &lt;a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/" target="_blank"&gt;http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In Chaucer&amp;rsquo;s original &lt;em&gt;The Canterbury Tales&lt;/em&gt;, written in the late fourteenth century, the narrator joins a group of 29 pilgrims who are about to set out on a journey from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. He proposes that each member of the group tell two stories to entertain them on their journey, and proceeds to record each of these &amp;lsquo;tales&amp;rsquo;. The teller of the best story was to be rewarded with a free meal at the expense of the rest of the group.&lt;/p&gt;</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;p&gt;This photographic artwork by Australian artist Fiona Hall belongs to a series titled &amp;lsquo;Illustrations to Dante&amp;rsquo;s Divine Comedy&amp;rsquo;. It is held by The National Gallery of Australia and depicts a scene from canto XIII of Dante Alighieri&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;Inferno&amp;rsquo;, the first part of his famous medieval Italian poem &lt;em&gt;The Divine Comedy&lt;/em&gt;. Written between 1308 and 1321,&lt;em&gt; The Divine Comedy&lt;/em&gt; tells of Dante&amp;rsquo;s journey through hell, purgatory and paradise respectively, guided at first by the Roman poet Virgil and then by his ideal woman, Beatrice. In canto XIII, Dante and Virgil descend into the second ring of the seventh circle of hell, where people who committed suicide were cast. They come across a thorny, tangled forest of gnarled trees that bleed and cry in pain when they are broken. One of the trees, who identifies himself as Pier della Vigna, a prominent figure at the imperial court of Frederick II, explains to Dante that people like himself who committed suicide were sent by Minos to the wood where they would grow into trees, all the while being wounded by harpies (half woman/half-bird creatures) who would tear and feast on their leaves. They are then disturbed by the sight of two figures running frantically through the forest. The slower of the two, subsequently identified as Giacomo of Sant&amp;rsquo; Andrea, takes refuge in a bush, only to be pounced upon by a number of black female mastiffs who &amp;lsquo;rent him piecemeal&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
