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>This large stained glass window featuring three figures from the Old Testament is on the northern wall of St David’s Anglican Cathedral, Hobart. It was created by the firm Burlison and Grylls and installed in the Cathedral in 1872. Each of the three figures – Joshua, Moses, and Gideon, occupy a lancet window. While Moses is attired in a robe, Gideon wears armour and a hat of the Renaissance period, and carries a spear. Joshua, who led the Israelites on their conquest of Canaan following the death of Moses, is dressed as a medieval knight. He wears full plate armour of the late medieval period and a sword at his side, and carries a lance. His helmet is at his feet. All three figures are standing above a representation of a castle/fortress with three round towers topped by a crenelated parapet, and Gothic-style spires. Below the castles are heraldic shields.</p>
