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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Image of the jarrah nave altar at St George’s Cathedral in Perth, Western Australia. The altar features a hand-carved knight and dragon against a St George shield to portray the St George legend. It was carved by Robin McArthur and installed in the Cathedral in 1991. The addition of this new altar at the head of the nave enabled the Eucharist service to be conducted closer to, and facing, the laity. Continuing the traditional associations of Christianity with military service that are present throughout the Cathedral, the image of St George as an armoured knight has the effect of, as Andrew Lynch has suggested, conflating piety and prowess in a positive way.</p>
<p><br /> The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the image features the knight and dragon in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale. For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, “‘Thingless names’? The St George Legend in Australia”, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html</a>).</p>

An account of the resource
Images of the St George woodcarved statue in St George’s Cathedral, Western Australia. The statue was purchased from Oberammergau in 1970. Oberammergau is a town in Bavaria known for its woodcarvers and, perhaps more famously, it’s production of a passion play. The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders, where it was incorporated into the chivalric tradition. For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, “‘Thingless names’?

Description
An account of the resource
<p>An image of the entrance to St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne. Inside the doorway, a set of lightweight stained glass ‘processional doors’ have been installed. Designed by Janusz Kuzbicki, they were intended to keep out city and traffic noise, and to allow the heavy wooden doors of the Cathedral to remain open during the day. For more on the processional doors, see: <a href="http://www.stpaulscathedral.org.au/cathedral/processional_doors" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.stpaulscathedral.org.au/cathedral/processional_doors</span></a>. Around the doorway, a number of the Cathedral’s other distinctive features are visible, including the patterned stonework, lancet windows, stone buttresses and decorative tracery.</p>
<p>About St Paul’s Cathedral:</p>
<p>St Paul’s Cathedral is located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in central Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic architectural style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Construction of the Cathedral’s three towers and distinctive neo-gothic spires began in 1926. They were designed by Sydney architect James Barr, and are not in keeping with Butterfield’s more modest original plans.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
A close-up of one of the ornately decorated neo-gothic spires at St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne. Construction of the spires began in 1926. This was thirty years after the initial building had been completed, and consequently they are slightly darker in colour than the sandstone used for the rest of the Cathedral. They were designed by Sydney architect James Barr, and differ from the more modest single spire and two towers proposed by the Cathedral’s original architect, William Butterfield. In the early twentieth century, these spires dominated the Melbourne skyline.

Other distinctive features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway.

Description
An account of the resource
A close-up of the triple lancet window above the entrance doorway at St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne. The Cathedral’s mixture of early and late gothic styles is evident in this window; the flamboyant arches (each has a trefoil head rather than a simple point) are typical of the late gothic period, but the tracery and overall composition is not as ornate as would be seen in a decorated gothic window. The Cathedral’s distinctive chequered tiling surrounds the windows, capped by a blind arcade of lancet arches.

Description
An account of the resource
An image of St Paul’s Cathedral, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in central Melbourne. St Paul’s is the official Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated just over a decade later when the initial stage of the building was completed in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Construction of the Cathedral’s three towers and distinctive neo-gothic spires began in 1926.

Other distinctive architectural features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway.
The cathedral interior is notable for its horizontally striped pattern, which is based on a design from thirteenth century Siena Cathedral.

Description
An account of the resource
An image of St Paul’s Cathedral, located at the intersection of Flinders Street and Swanston Street in central Melbourne. St Paul’s is the official Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne. It was built in a Victorian Gothic style to the design of prominent English architect William Butterfield. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and the Cathedral was consecrated just over a decade later when the initial stage of the building was completed in 1891. Butterfield oversaw the building remotely until 1884, when he resigned following disputes with the Church authorities in Melbourne. The remainder of the construction was supervised by well-known local architect Joseph Reed. Construction of the Cathedral’s three towers and distinctive neo-gothic spires began in 1926. They were designed by Sydney architect John Barr, and are not in keeping with Butterfield’s more modest original plans. Other distinctive architectural features of St Paul’s include its multiple lancet windows, decorative blind tracery, chequered tiling on the wall above the entrance and elaborate stained glass processional doors inside the entrance doorway.
The cathedral interior is notable for its horizontally striped pattern, which is based on a design from thirteenth century Siena Cathedral.

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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>A view of St Peter’s Cathedral in Adelaide, South Australia. Construction of this Victorian Gothic style Cathedral began in 1869. The front of the Cathedral is believed to have been modelled on the church of St Jean-Baptiste de Belleville in Paris, while the lower half of the front facade - especially the three large doorways, the rose window and the twin lancet windows on either side - are also strongly reminiscent of Notre Dame in Paris. Other features of the Cathedral’s gothic architecture include the blind arcading and elaborate stone tracery, the solid buttresses and the characteristic twin towers and spires.</p>
<p>About St Peter’s Cathedral:</p>
<p>St Peter’s is an Anglican Cathedral located in North Adelaide. Plans for the Cathedral, designed by English architect William Butterfield, were brought to South Australia by the first bishop of the Anglican diocese of Adelaide, Augustus Short, in 1848. They were enlarged and implemented by local architect Edward John Woods. The foundation stone of the Cathedral was laid on St Peter’s Day (29 June) in 1869, and building proceeded in five stages. The first section was completed in 1877, when the Cathedral officially opened for services. The nave was completed in 1901, the towers in 1902, the Lady Chapel in 1904 and the front steps in 1911. Restoration work on the Cathedral began in the 1990s.
