1 8 5 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 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.

Description An account of the resource This large oil on canvas history painting by Victorian artist Ford Madox Brown was purchased (directly from the artist) by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1876. Subtitled “Geoffrey Chaucer Reading the ‘Legend of Custance’ to Edward III and his Court, at the Palace of Sheen, on the Anniversary of the Black Prince’s Forty-Fifth Birthday”, the painting depicts Geoffrey Chaucer reading aloud to King Edward III and his Court. In addition to Chaucer and Edward III, other fourteenth-century figures featured in the painting include the King’s two sons, Edward the Black Prince and John of Gaunt, and his mistress Alice Perrers. The figure of Chaucer has been modelled on the famous Pre-Raphaelite and Brown’s close friend, Dante Gabriel Rosetti. However, scholars have noted the lengths to which Brown went to ensure historical accuracy in both costuming and facial resemblances, which included consulting and purchasing antiquarian volumes on medieval furniture and dress and also visiting tombs and effigies (see, for example, Angela Thirwell, Tim Barringer & Laura MacCulloch, Ford Madox Brown: The Unofficial Pre-Raphaelite, D. Giles, 2008). Chaucer was a common subject for Ford Madox Brown (and the nineteenth-century medieval revival more generally) on account of his prominent role in popularising the English language (over French and Latin) and his widely-held reputation as the ‘Father of English poetry’. This enabled the Victorians, Velma Bourgeois Richmond has argued, to revere him as a Protestant hero, because “the development of the English language was crucial to breaking the hold of the Catholic Church by the clergy and to the formation of national identity” (Velma Bourgeois Richmond, “Ford Madox Brown’s Protestant Medievalism: Chaucer and Wycliffe”, Christianity and Literature, Vol.54, Issue 3, Spring 2005, p.366). The image was originally designed as the central panel in a triptych entitled The Seeds and Fruits of English Poetry, and was to be flanked by portraits of famous poets such as Milton, Spenser, Shakespeare and Burns.

Not long before his escape in August 1933, Hofer said, he heard one of the Austrian warders singing the Nazi anthem with the additional line â€œBondage will only last a short time nowâ€. This he correctly interpreted as a sign that he would soon be rescued. The article likens the incident to a legend concerning the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart in the twelfth century. In 1192, Richard I of England was captured by Leopold V of Austria on his return from the Third Crusade. He was held for a significant ransom, which Richardâ€™s mother - Eleanor of Aquitaine - raised. Richard was eventually released and returned to England in 1194. A popular chivalric legend emerged that a faithful troubadour named Blondel travelled from castle to castle after Richard was captured singing a song that would be recognisable only to him, in order to discover the place of Richardâ€™s imprisonment.

Title A name given to the resource "Men Call Me a Fool" Subject The topic of the resource Adonis, book, book review, books, court, duchess, fool, Francis I (1494-1547), hunchback, king, literature, medieval France, nobles, professional fool, review, tragedy, troubadour Description An account of the resource This article provides a short review of Dan Totheroh’s historical novel “Men Call me Fool”, published by Selwyn and Blount in 1929. Set in fourteenth-century France at the court of King Francis I, the plot centres on a professional fool and a youthful duchess who falls in love with him. Although professional fools were common in medieval courtly circles, the reviewer tells the reader, “mostly they were hunchbacks or deformed, but this one was an Adonis”, and also a troubadour. Summing up, the reviewer concludes that “There is a good deal of the atmosphere of the times and much that is realistic in the lives of these professional fools” and “the characterisation of the sensual king and his nobles is convincing”.
