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.
Still Image
A static visual representation. Examples of still images are: paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type "text" to images of textual materials.

Description
An account of the resource
‘Hop’ produced this <em>Bulletin</em> cartoon at a time when J. C. Williamson’s theatre company was staging William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Sydney. The popular young American actress Miss Tittell Brune was in the starring role, with Mr R. A. Greenaway as Romeo and Mr Roy Redgrave (patriarch of the famous English acting family) as Mercutio (See <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, Nov 12, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?</a>) Judging from reviews written at the time, Miss Brune’s “charming” balcony performance was hugely successful (See, for example, <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, Nov 16, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?</a>). So, Hop’s cartoon was not only timely but also bound to raise a laugh or a smile of recognition from Sydney theatre-goers. The NSW government was barely into its fifth month of office, and Sir Joseph Carruthers − who was both premier and treasurer − had inherited the difficult task of dealing with accumulated State debts. <em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em> calculated that NSW owed around £4,310,000, to be paid-off over thirty years (<em>The Sydney Morning Herald</em>, October 10, 1904, p. 6. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?</a>). Subsequently, Hop depicts premier Carruthers fawning and gesticulating to a bored and stereotypically Jewish financier. In the background, three spheres suspended in the night sky represent usury. Hop’s critique of the NSW economy is clearly designed to keep the matter firmly under continuous (and sceptical) public scrutiny.
