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.

Description
An account of the resource
<em>The Bulletin</em>, which was resolutely “anti-imperialist” in its outlook, published a range of verses, ballads and other “poems in which the Middle Ages were represented as despotic and barbaric” (Louise D’Arcens, <em>Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910</em>, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.143). While ‘The Old Squire’ doesn’t do this explicitly, it is undeniably a “tale of faithful service unrewarded” (D’Arcens, p.144). Here we again follow the adventures of Sir William, Henry Lawson’s cuckolded knight from ‘As it is in the Days of Now’ (See <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1020" target="_self">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1020</a>). Sir William, his squire, the King and the narrator ride into Virland with the intention of conquering the City, only to find the inhabitants suffering in the throes of the Black Death. Sir William is portrayed in the poem as arrogant and thoughtless for failing to appreciate the longstanding and faithful service of his squire, Old Swithin. After dutifully clearing out the dead from the City, Swithin collapses after trying to rescue a child from plague infested quarters. He is portrayed as noble in character but, unjustly, not in name; instead, ‘His heart was ever pained, / because of that old knighthood / that he should once have gained’. When his worth is finally recognised and the King attempts to knight him at the end of the poem, it is too late for he is already dead. While not an outright attack on all authority, this poem “implicitly condemns aristocratic arrogance and the [...] inequity of the feudal system” (D’Arcens, p.144).

Description
An account of the resource
This poem, which is best described as “an anti-nostalgic demystification of chivalric heroism” (Louise D’Arcens, <em>Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910</em>, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, p.143), draws a link to the medieval past to suggest that little has changed with regards human behaviour. ‘As it is in the Days of Now,’ is a tale of cover-up, falsity, and cuckoldry. Here, everyone but Sir William is aware of an affair that took place between his Lady and his best friend while he was fighting in the Holy Land. The poor man even unwittingly drinks wine in the company of his rival and false friend. Lawson’s ubiquitous narrator states, “And the true friend pledges the false friend thrice.” Lawson refuses to romanticise love in accordance with medieval notions of chivalry. Lust and cupidity are here disguised and subsumed into ‘noblesse oblige,’ and Lawson’s poem rather denigrates selfish ‘knightly’ behaviour, with its false friendships, cuckoldry, and risible notions of Courtly Love. The poem in fact, is an angry riposte to nineteenth-century nostalgia and naiveté as it relates to the individual’s lack of nous and foresight.

Description
An account of the resource
Henry Lawson produced several interrelated medieval poems c. 1908 which <em>The Bulletin</em> published. ‘Because of her Father’s Blood’ is the third poem of the Sir William series. While the knight is away crusading his aunt, Dame Ruth, is left to keep things in good order at home. This is a poignantly nostalgic poem of courage arising from dire and severe need, wherein an elderly lady and a handful of domestic servants keep a large and rapacious band of outlaws at bay ‘against all the odds.’ There is something to be said, it seems, for resolute and purposeful determination under duress. That is the core message here, where ordinary men and women - domestics, scullions and grooms, none of them martial or overly brave - combine together under the considerable will and fierce determination of Dame Ruth, and heroic deeds are enacted as a result. Looking to her illustrious forebears provides the catalyst for Dame Ruth’s heroism and bravery: “For a fearsome mistress she was to serve, / Because of her father’s blood.” And, extending and applying this ‘medievalist’ performative metaphor to the national cause, loyalty and bravery are strongly emblematic of Australia’s attitude towards and defence of the British Empire in its foreign wars.

Description
An account of the resource
Henry Lawson (1867-1922), one of Australia's most famous poets, and a symbol for the Australian Nationalism Movement, protests against what he sees as the 'toadies knighthood' in this verse. He berates those (English) in Australia who seek to reproduce all things British: banquet table, garden fair and social circle. This poem praises Australian 'classlessness', hard work, and esoteric knowledge of the 'bush'
