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
‘Prospect Good’ was the nom de plume of the gold prospector, fossicker, and bush poet, Francis William Ophel. This poem, ‘The Sagamen,’ is filled with vivid imagery drawn in the style of Old Icelandic sagas (Louise D’Arcens, <em>Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910</em>, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.142). According to Ophel’s logic, the content of these Skaldic tales is no different from speeches and editorials designed to legitimize nineteenth-century imperial narratives; they cleverly subvert truth and disguise real-life events under a nuanced and textured layer of bravado and heroic deeds where violence is praised and overvalued. In contrast, Ophel’s is likely suggesting here that there is nothing glorious about slaughter, plunder, theft and rapine, and the over reliance on strong-arm tactics. Presumably the political rationale for this strategy is formed along the lines of: ‘they’ did it ‘back then,’ so it must be alright for ‘us’ to emulate ‘now’; but Ophel, who realises that this reasoning is mendacious, states plainly and firmly in The Sagamen’s final couplet: “The naked truth is hidden / Beneath a web of words".

Description
An account of the resource
Image of person in costume stamping initials into leather using the Viking alphabet, or Fuþark. Runic inscriptions are attested from c. 150 CE and were used by a number of ‘Germanic’ peoples. During the Viking Age (c. 800-1100) the Younger Fuþark was used by the Scandinavians, with many inscriptions surviving today not only in Scandinavia but other places visited and/or settled by Scandinavians, including Britain, Constantinople (Istanbul), and Greenland.
The Perth Medieval Fayre is organised by the Western Australian Medieval Alliance (WAMA). In 2011 it was held at Supreme Court Gardens on 19 March. Enthusiasts and vendors showcased a range of medieval arts and crafts, from dancing, calligraphy and lace-making to demonstrations of the techniques, weaponry and apparel of medieval combat.
