Title A name given to the resource ‘The Australian Jubilee Peerage: A Detailed Scheme for the Institution of Various Long-Needed Australian Orders of Nobility’, The Bulletin, 25 June 1887 Subject The topic of the resource ‘pedigree hunting,’ Australian politics, Britain, heraldry, honours, Jubilee, knight, knighthood, Livingston York Hopkins (1846-1927), Melbourne, nobility, peerage, politics, political figures, Queen Victoria, social mobility, Victoria, VIC, White Knight of Kerry Description An account of the resource This full-page illustration by the Bulletin’s American-born cartoonist Livingston Hopkins (aka ‘Hop’), pokes fun at some of Australia’s prominent political figures. The 25 June 1887 issue of the Bulletin reviewed Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, and Hop’s cartoon “lampooned the jubilee peerages that had been bestowed” on the distant British outpost (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p.21). It seems that Australians from all backgrounds and social milieu desired these honours from the British monarch: a search for long-forgotten (aka ‘illustrious’) forbears was relentlessly pursued by public figures, and the claiming of heraldic devices (if obtainable) was de rigueur. As a result, Burke’s Peerage was forced to devote two volumes in 1891 and 1895 to “Colonial Gentry” (D'Arcens, p.24). Hop’s cartoon offered Bulletin readers a tongue-in-cheek selection of new honours, including ‘The Order of P.G.’ to be “conferred only upon the old and true colonial aristocracy” (Bulletin,p .18). “P.G.” is a reference to “the convict inmates of Pinchgut, the notoriously punitive prison-island in Sydney Cove (better known today as Fort Denison)”. It also serves as a timely reminder to those with ‘blinkered’ memories “of the decidedly ignoble origins” of many of the Colony’s original European settlers (D’Arcens, p.23).

Idyll’ Subject The topic of the resource Crusades, doggerel, idyll, I.O.G.T., drunkenness, military order, Order of Knights Templar, Order of the Temple, sobriety, Soldiers of Christ, templar, templar knights, temperance, temperance society, The International Order of Good Templars Description An account of the resource This amusing temperance ‘ditty’ describes the adventures of “a burly Templar chief” whose carefree night of drinking turns out to be more than he expected or bargained for. The I.O.G.T. was a temperance society (The International Order of Good Templars). There were people from all walks of life and religious persuasions involved in the temperance movement in 1880s Australia, Britain, America and Sweden. Presumably the I.O.G.T. hierarchy viewed themselves as crusader knights fighting the “Good Fight,” and clearly a good fight was one that ended well for ‘true believers’ and badly for their foes (i.e. ‘winebibbers’, ‘publicans’ and ‘sinners). However, it should be noted that the Order of Knights Templar, a powerful military order and charitable organisation in the Middle Ages, was never actually forbidden the use of wine, and occasionally instances of over-indulgence were recorded (See Dominic Selwood, Knights of the Cloister: Templars and Hospitallers in central-southern Occitania c.1100-c.1300, Woodbridge, Boydell, 2001, p.205). This oversight reveals the mindset of those who supported the adoption of quasi-medieval terminology and ceremony in the nineteenth-century, without fully appreciating the history and behaviour of those whose names they had chosen to adopt.

G. Fitzgibbon. In the cartoon Fitzgibbon is throwing a temper tantrum over the amount of money that should be allocated to the chairman (i.e. himself). The so-called &lsquo;White Knight of Kerry&rsquo; is depicted, as Louise D&rsquo;Arcens suggests, as &ldquo;a pompous undersized figure, absurd in his full suit of armour&rdquo; (Louise D'Arcens,<em> Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, </em> Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p.24). Additionally, Durkin&rsquo;s reference to &ldquo;Councillor Gibbon&rdquo; implies that FitzGibbon is really plain Edmund Gibbon, and that he has &lsquo;taken on airs and graces&rsquo; by adding Fitz (an Anglo-Norman prefix meaning &lsquo;son of&rsquo;) to bolster his reputation and his claim to medieval ancestry. Fitzgibbon served in his role as chairman of the Board of Works for fourteen years until his death.

Subject The topic of the resource Democracy, feudalism, inequality, natural law, merit, poem, privilege, wealth, workers rights Description An account of the resource This poem provides a vigorous denunciation of “the English caste system” and “celebrates the decay of feudalism,” at least in the Australian rural locale (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p. 143). It praises “muscle and brain” (merit) while condemning the undeserving ruling classes, who it refers to as “Pampered idlers”. The point of the exercise is demonstrated in the lines: “King, prince and lord are a useless load and must by that law abide! / No Parliament can alter that fact, / Or the march of mankind stay.” The law that this section of the poem acknowledges is simply the law of Nature, for no law of man can usurp natural law. Underpinning everything else is the firm belief that the ‘fruits of the earth’ (its wealth and resources) are made not just for a select and powerful minority, but for everyone equally. The inescapable conclusion of the poem is that with the removal of the medieval ‘baggage’ of the past, i.e. feudalism, nostalgia, overlordship and the monarchy, the earth will return to an extended period of serenity and harmony under the sure-handed guidance of “the People”.

Alfred Dampier first appeared as Mephisto in Faust in 1873 at the Royal theatre, Melbourne. While reasonably successful in his chosen profession (his acting career spanned thirty years), he was generally considered “sound rather than brilliant” by his critics (See, for example: John Rickard, 'Dampier, Alfred (1848–1908)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/dampier-alfred-3360/text5067, accessed 12 June 2012.) Phil May acknowledges Dampier’s competence and durability, albeit with a mischievous gleam in the eye and a knowing flourish of his pen. The literary origins of the legend of Dr Faust date back to the 1580s, and may be based upon a real person who died c. 1540-41 (J. W. Smeed, Faust in Literature, London: Oxford University Press, 1973, pp.1-2).

Title A name given to the resource ‘Light’ Verses Subject The topic of the resource adversary, knight, lampoon, lance, Macquarie Lighthouse, NSW Politics, Port Jackson, satire, Sir Henry Parkes, Sir John Robertson, Sydney Harbour, The Bulletin, verse Description An account of the resource This poem is an example of the satirical verses published by The Bulletin to ridicule the perceived “opportunistic and self-serving” collaborative association between former political opponents (aka ‘rivals’), Sir Henry Parkes, and Sir John Robertson aka ‘the Knight of Clovelly’ (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, pp.147-48). The occasion that warranted lampooning here was the inauguration of the new Macquarie lighthouse (South Head, Port Jackson). The poem’s backdrop is that of two ‘worthy’ knights. Formerly bitter adversaries, they now seem ‘reconciled’ and working together for the common good, albeit at considerable expense to public funding, and to general good will, while stretching the city of Sydney’s patience to the limits.

Title A name given to the resource 'Romance' Subject The topic of the resource Alice Werner (1859-1935), castle, chivalry, ‘Creeve Roe’, Gothic medievalism, knight, L. D. (1859-1935), Lucia Di Valle Rojana (1859-1935), melancholia, poetry, romance, tournament, Victor Daley (1858-1905) Description An account of the resource The long-vanished past is briefly reconfigured in this sad and poignant poem. It allows us a fleeting glimpse of what has (or may have) been, even though we find ourselves standing in the waking world “Under blue skies in a fair land.” True Romance, it suggests, has gone the way of stately knights in armour, beautiful ‘maidens forlorn,’ castles, and all the accoutrements and trappings of the chivalric medieval past. In gothic literary fashion the buildings, mores and customs have all crumbled, decayed, and vanished, and the poem “lament[s] the irredeemable loss of this world, which ‘Ages ago [...] faded out and died’” (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910 Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.139). While these verses do convey sadness and melancholia, Australia was a new land, at least in terms of European settlement and influence, and so it can be concluded, as Louise D’Arcens suggests, that that, “this melancholy poem is not coupled with any attempt to reanimate the spirit of nostalgia in the present” (D’Arcens, p.139).
