1 8 2 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.

Title A name given to the resource ‘The Seasons window,’ Mandeville Hall, Toorak Subject The topic of the resource autumn, country, cupid, David Relph Drape, Diana, Ferguson & Urie, foliage, frieze, harvest, Joseph Clarke, landscape, nature, nostalgia, Romanesque, Saint George, seasons, spring, St George, stained glass, stairwell, summer, Toorak, VIC, Victoria, window, winter Description An account of the resource This staircase ‘Seasons’ window at Mandeville Hall in Toorak was designed by David Relph Drape and created by Ferguson & Urie for the original owner, millionaire Joseph Clarke, in 1877. The circular medallions in the centre of the window depict scenes of the four different seasons, beginning with winter. The idyllic country scenes that fill the main medallions are of typically English views, and doubtless served, as Beverley Sherry suggests, as “persuasive [and ‘nostalgic’] reminders of ‘home’” (Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.39). The figures to the left and right of the medallions also represent the four seasons, and feature banners identifying which season they represent. Clarke’s initials appear on the central lower border flanked by curved floral motifs that were probably adapted from classical Roman frieze work. There is also a star-studded cross of St George at each of the corners. In this way, classical Rome, medievalism, and British imperialism appear as natural offshoots of the other. This decorative and largely opaque window is intricately patterned with entwined foliage, and dominated by figural seasonal vignettes. It is crowned by a semi-circular top light (another concession to the architectural ‘Romanesque’ or Norman style) containing a reclining Diana, and Cupid holding a bow.

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. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Notes from The Doctor’s Diary: Winter Dressing Subject The topic of the resource Anecdote, appendicitis, cat-gut, clothing, corset, diary, doctor, goitre, GP, health, medicine, medieval England, medieval health, medieval population, patient, physician, psychiatrist, psychiatric medicine, “Punch”, silkworm-gut, stitches, winter Description An account of the resource In this Western Mail column, a GP provides anecdotes from his consultations with patients. These include a man concerned about winter chills, a man whose father was either poisoned or died from appendicitis, a woman concerned about goitres and a patient to whom the doctor explained the difference between cat-gut and silkworm-gut stitches. At the end of the article is a section titled “Medieval Health, from this week’s reading”. Following two notes about the injurious historical practice of binding women’s waists and eighteenth-century corsets, this section contains the following curious comment about the perceived absence of psychiatric medicine in medieval England: “As ‘Punch’ points out, ‘The reason that there were no psychiatrists in medieval England is that the country was only sparsely inhabited’”.
