Description
An account of the resource
<p>This production by theatre company KNUTS is a modern adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s <em>The Canterbury Tales</em> in two parts. Adapted by Stephen Quinn and directed by Stephen Lee, it transposes stories from Chaucer’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 ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’, ‘The Miller’s Tale’ and ‘The Reeve’s Tale’, and Part Two ‘The Franklin’s Tale’, The Wife of Bath’s Tale’ and ‘The Merchant’s Tale’. This production featured as part of the Perth Fringe Festival in 2013, where ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part One’ was performed from 7 February to 13 February and ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part Two’ was performed the following week from 14 February to 19 February 2013. A positive review of ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part Two’ from <em>The West Australian</em> can be read at: <a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/" target="_blank">http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/</a>.</p>
<p>In Chaucer’s original <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, 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 ‘tales’. The teller of the best story was to be rewarded with a free meal at the expense of the rest of the group.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
An advertisement for a scallop shell badge distributed by ‘Mainly Medieval’, an online re-enactor supplies company based in New South Wales. The scallop shell badge signifies that the wearer has completed the lengthy overland pilgrimage known in English as the Way of St James. This pilgrimage, which now starts at Roncesvalles, gradually winds its way to the Cathedral in Compostela, NW Spain. The ninth-century version, however, was considerably shorter due to the Moorish occupation. This early route started at Oviedo, passed through Lugo, and culminated at Santiago de Compostela, covering a distance of 328 km. The church was built at Compostella as a shrine to James, the son of Salome and Zebedee, who died in Jerusalem AD 44 by order of King Agrippa. His body was reputedly rediscovered in 840 by divine revelation to Bishop Theodomirus (See Gertrude Jobes, Dictionary of Mythology Folklore and Symbols, New York, The Scarecrow Press, 1962, vol.2, p.1372). The Vatican ‘officially’ confirmed the location of St James’s relics and tomb via a Papal Bull in 1884, and consequently the Camino de Santiago de Compostela became one of the world’s great long-distance ‘pilgrimages.’

Description
An account of the resource
This photograph was taken at the Gumeracha Medieval Fair, Adelaide Hills, South Australia by photographer Wendi Donaldson (May 2011). The image is entitled ‘Peasant,’ but seeing as the man is wearing a scallop-shell as a badge in his wide-brimmed hat and is carrying a staff with a bevel-top, he is more likely a ‘pilgrim.’ The scallop-shell was worn by those who journeyed to the shrine of St James (aka Santiago de Compostela), in NW Spain (See Dominic Selwood, Knights of the Cloister Woodbridge: Boydell Press, 1999, p.111). This was one of the three main Pilgrimages undertaken by medieval Christians, and it was also reputedly the easiest and safest. It was undoubtedly less expensive (or dangerous) than journeying to the Holy Land. The other two essential pilgrimage routes were the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, and the shrine of St Peter, Rome.
The Gumeracha Medieval Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Adelaide Hills Council. The Fair features a host of re-enactment groups from around the world, including handcraft stallholders, wandering musicians and entertainers, and a whole lot more. This is just one of several interesting medieval events held throughout the country at different times of the year. There is clearly a popular interest in the past, and especially the Middle Ages, as these fairs and festivals (which generally charge an admission fee) imply, and not just in Australia. There are professional re-enactment personnel and entertainers who traverse the globe in a bid to bring the past to life.

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.

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’.
