Title A name given to the resource Medievalism on the Page Description An account of the resource This Collection examines literary medievalism from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.

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.

These include a man concerned about winter chills, a man whose father was either poisoned or died from appendicitis, a woman concerned about goitres and a patient to whom the doctor explained the difference between cat-gut and silkworm-gut stitches. At the end of the article is a section titled “Medieval Health, from this week’s reading”. Following two notes about the injurious historical practice of binding women’s waists and eighteenth-century corsets, this section contains the following curious comment about the perceived absence of psychiatric medicine in medieval England: “As ‘Punch’ points out, ‘The reason that there were no psychiatrists in medieval England is that the country was only sparsely inhabited’”.

Title A name given to the resource The "India" Small Pox Scare Subject The topic of the resource smallpox, small pox, disease, quarantine, ship, S.S. India, Albany, doctor, medieval regulations, medieval medical practices Description An account of the resource In this letter to the editor of the West Australian Sunday Times in March 1900, the correspondent “B. Knighted” complains about quarantine practices that required doctors who boarded ships docked at Albany to quarantine patients suffering from smallpox and other exposed passengers, but then allowed the doctor himself to disembark and resume treating members of the community. The strict quarantine mandate for anyone on board the ship when the doctor was satisfied that disinfecting his hands could prevent the spread of the disease was, the correspondent claims, an undesirable remnant of an ‘obsolete and medieval practice’.
