1 8 2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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.

Title A name given to the resource ‘St George’ Stained Glass Window, Tolarno Hotel, St Kilda Subject The topic of the resource armour, armor, border, dragon, Ferguson & Urie, knight, Melbourne, rose, Saint George, St. George, St George, saint, saints, St. Kilda, St Kilda, stained glass, staircase, Tolarno Hotel, Tudor rose, Union Jack, valour, VIC, Victoria Description An account of the resource This elaborate staircase window in a converted St Kilda mansion is probably by Ferguson & Urie and dated c.1884. The window depicts a red-cloaked and fully armoured St George standing on the head of a dragon. Images of St George and the Dragon were popular in the nineteenth century, with this appeal being especially aided by Sir Walter Scott’s reawakening of popular notions of chivalry in his writings. The outer border contains red and white Tudor roses interspersed with green leaves on a blue ground, while the solid looking pillars hold small medallion-shaped imprints of the Union Jack. Overall, the window represents a calm ‘manly’ Victorian assurance in the face of determined opposition. Such a window can be interpreted as “an expansive declaration of the values and … institutions inherited from Britain” (Beverley Sherry, Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.44). Although little information is available regarding the mansion’s original owner, it is thought that the house was built for someone engaged in local politics. Thus, St George killing the dragon makes an ideal theme for a grand staircase window in a house where integrity and propriety must be readily observable.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Medieval artefacts, St David’s Cathedral, Hobart, Tasmania Subject The topic of the resource Anglican, artefact, George Frederick Bodley, Cloisters, Dublin, England, Gothic, Gothic Revival, Hobart, Ireland, pillar, Salisbury Cathedral, St David’s Cathedral, St Patrick’s Cathedral, spire, Tas, Tasmania, Tudor Rose, Wales, Westminster Hall. Description An account of the resource <p>St David&rsquo;s Cathedral, Hobart, was designed by English architect George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) in 1865 in the Gothic Revival style, with further revisions in 1891. As the foundation stone for the Cloisters and Tower were not laid until 1892 they are likely to have been part of those revisions. They were completed and consecrated in 1936. The Cloisters building acts as a museum and features a number of original medieval artefacts on its walls. The photographs below are of four of the items: a sculpture of a head from the wall of the twelfth-century St Patrick&rsquo;s Cathedral in Dublin, a pillar from a spire on the fourteenth-century Salisbury Cathedral in England, a fifteenth-century Tudor Rose stone from the eleventh-century Westminster Hall in London, and a stone from the sixth-century St David&rsquo;s Cathedral in Wales. The artefacts in the Cloisters provide a good opportunity for the public to interact with medieval material culture.</p> <p>For the exterior of the cloisters see <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1163">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1163</a></p> <p>For the interior see <a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1198">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1198</a></p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource McLeod, Shane Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource October 6, 2012 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource No Copyright Relation A related resource <p><a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1163">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1163</a></p> <p><a href="http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1198">http://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/items/show/1198</a></p> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 4xDigital Photograph Anglican artefact Cloisters Dublin England George Frederick Bodley Gothic Gothic Revival Hobart Ireland pillar Salisbury Cathedral spire St David’s Cathedral St Patrick’s Cathedral Tas Tasmania Tudor Rose Wales Westminster Hall.
