1 8 1 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.

It depicts Sir Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, and a nun. The illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic, Galahad was raised in a convent under the care of the Abbess, his Great Aunt. He was one of only 3 Knights to see the Holy Grail, and is renowned in legend for his gallantry, his piety and his purity. He was a popular character in the Victorian revival of Arthurian myth, and these qualities were emphasised in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s 1842 poem ‘Sir Galahad’. This particular photograph appeared as Plate IX in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Idylls of the King and Other Poems, a collection of 12 narrative poems retelling the King Arthur legend published between 1856 and 1885. Tennyson’s version was based primarily on two well-known medieval texts: Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur and the Mabinogion.
