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.

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.

Subject The topic of the resource Adventuring, Australian national character, backblocks, bard, city, E. J. Brady (1869-1952), Federation, freedom, knight, lance, nationalism, romanticisation, rural economy, New South Wales, NSW. Description An account of the resource To describe everyday life in colonial Australia as entirely rural-based in 1900 would be misleading, for the country’s major urban centres, particularly Sydney and Melbourne, housed much of the population and fuelled its commercial vitality (see F. K. Crowley (ed.), A New History of Australia, Richmond, William Heinemann, 1984, p. 261). Yet, the author of these verses, E. J. Brady, romanticises the ordinary Australian’s willingness to ‘chance their luck’ on bold ventures: E.g., prospecting for gold, running sheep and cattle in the water-scarce ‘backblocks,’ harvesting pearls in the N.W., and shipping commodities all over the world. Brady clearly favoured the “adventuring life,” valuing rural freedom over machine-shop slavery in the noxious urban sprawl (Louise D’Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.141). The propensity for romanticising the Australian present by conflating it with a medieval past was not unusual at the time. The Bulletin published (and made room for) quite a lot of this type of ‘backblocks’ versification, which “was not only determinedly populist and disposable but also extremely cursory in its medievalism, ransacking the popular imaginary indiscriminately for tropes and terms that signified instantaneously and superficially as ‘medieval’” (D’Arcens, 19). That much is apparent from the poem, with its comparatively stock imagery and reliance on ‘the bygone days of yore’ for inspiration: the “Barons of Bold Adventure, Kings of the stout free lance”. Yet Brady, who was a long-standing member of the Australian Socialist League (See John B. Webb, A Critical Biography of Edwin James Brady 1869-1952, University of Sydney PhD Thesis, 1972 p.9), evidently envisaged entire communities of unburdened ‘emancipated’ workers “roaming the countryside and working at will,” like so many questing medieval knights (D’Arcens, p.140). It is likely that Brady was appealing to the resolve that was forming and cohering as a result of the recent Federation debates (c. 1897-98) which, having filtered down into everyday exchange sought to persuade and unite the colonies under the one flag and banner.

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 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.

Title A name given to the resource The â€˜Australiaâ€™ window; or â€˜Oceaniaâ€™ in the Sydney Town Hall Subject The topic of the resource Allegory, centenary, colony, Goodlet & Smith, lantern, Lucien Henry, nationalism, neo-romanesque, New South Wales, Norman Revival, NSW, patriotism, Romanesque, Southern Cross, stained glass, Sydney, Sydney Town Hall, symbolism, trident, Union Jack, window Description An account of the resource One of two neo-romanesque with rounded heads and stylised borders designed by Frenchman Lucian Henry and manufactured by Goodlet & Smith for the Sydney Town Hall auditorium, at a time when national fervour was running high in the late nineteenth century. These windows are reminiscent of Romanesque or Norman figural windows dating from the eleventh century. A tall allegorical figure, which doubtless personifies the colony of NSW, wears a helmet of ramâ€™s horns encircled by the sunâ€™s rays. She carries a minerâ€™s lantern and a trident. The figure is draped in the Union Jack, and framed by four white stars on blue grounds in the shape of the Southern Cross. The fifth star is placed upon the womanâ€™s forehead. Symbolism of this type has decidedly classical and also medieval precedents (See James Hall, Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art, 2nd Edition, Boulder, Westview Press, 2008, p.316). The woman stands astride the globe, which is inscribed with her name. The central window is flanked by decorative (and recognisably) Australian floral sidelights adorned with the words â€˜Advance Australiaâ€™ and the dates of the centenary (1788-1888). This â€˜Australiaâ€™ window is one of two inspirational Lucien Henry stair windows installed to celebrate Sydneyâ€™s centenary and to promote the developing national identity narrative.

It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive.

About the Society: The Irish National Foresters Organisation/Friendly Society is a mutual aid society, which was established to help members in distress and the relatives of members who are deceased. It began in 1877 as a breakaway from the Order of Foresters, which was originally set up in England by medieval serfs. As they were not permitted to meet openly, their meetings were gathered in dense forest and they took names associated with forestry and applied them to their leaders (e.g. Chief Ranger, Assistant Chief Ranger, Woodward and Beadle). The I.N.F grew rapidly and soon became the largest friendly society in Ireland. It is non-sectarian, non-political and is not divided by class. It supported Irish nationalism and its constitution called for 'government for Ireland by the Irish people in accordance with Irish ideas and Irish aspirations'. The INF group are non-political and non-sectarian. The Society is also not based on class distinctions. <a href="http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/250056/sash-irish-national-foresters-after-1877">http://museumvictoria.com.au/collections/items/250056/sash-irish-national-foresters-after-1877</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived State Library of New South Wales Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available State Library of New South Wales Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource ca 1930 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource State Library of New South Wales Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Hyperlink; Black and white photograph; PDF Language A language of the resource English banner float floats Foresters fraternities fraternity friendly societies friendly society Ireland Irish Irish National Foresters Irish National Foresters Friendly Society nationalism nationalist New South Wales non-political non-sectarian NSW parade parades Patrick's Day procession processions Saint Patrick Saint Patrick's Day societies society St Patrick St Patrick's Day St. Patrick St. Patrick's Day street Sydney Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
