Description
An account of the resource
<p>This production by theatre company KNUTS is a modern adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s <em>The Canterbury Tales</em> in two parts. Adapted by Stephen Quinn and directed by Stephen Lee, it transposes stories from Chaucer’s original text into a variety of different genres, ranging from Western to silent film, Victorian melodrama and a Shakespearean version of a Medieval Romance. Part One includes renditions of ‘The Pardoner’s Tale’, ‘The Miller’s Tale’ and ‘The Reeve’s Tale’, and Part Two ‘The Franklin’s Tale’, The Wife of Bath’s Tale’ and ‘The Merchant’s Tale’. This production featured as part of the Perth Fringe Festival in 2013, where ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part One’ was performed from 7 February to 13 February and ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part Two’ was performed the following week from 14 February to 19 February 2013. A positive review of ‘The Canterbury Tales: Part Two’ from <em>The West Australian</em> can be read at: <a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/" target="_blank">http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/entertainment/a/-/entertainment/16159623/review-the-canterbury-tales-part-two/</a>.</p>
<p>In Chaucer’s original <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>, written in the late fourteenth century, the narrator joins a group of 29 pilgrims who are about to set out on a journey from Southwark to Canterbury to visit the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. He proposes that each member of the group tell two stories to entertain them on their journey, and proceeds to record each of these ‘tales’. The teller of the best story was to be rewarded with a free meal at the expense of the rest of the group.</p>

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.

Medievalism on the Page
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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In this notice about the upcoming programme for the Grand Theatre, a screening of the 1923 silent film “Under the Red Robe” is announced. The film is based on Stanley J. Weyman’s historical novel of the same name. The novel is described in the article as a medieval romance, although it is set in seventeenth-century France. The story opens in 1630, when Gil de Berault sets out on a search for fugitive Huguenot Henri de Cocheforet, on the orders of Cardinal Richelieu. He has offered his martial skills to Richelieu in exchange for his life after being arrested for duelling in Paris. Although he does indeed find and arrest M. de Cocheforet, he realises that he has fallen in love with his sister and lets him go free to restore his honour. The story ends on the Day of the Dupes with the marriage of de Berault and de Cocheforet. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In this article from The West Australian in 1952, notice of the upcoming stage production of Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” by the John Alden Shakespearean Company is given. The medieval costumes - including elaborate head-dresses, pointed shoes and draped sleeves - would be particularly appealing to Perth audiences, the article suggests, because they were such a marked change from the plays usually performed on the Perth stage. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In “The Winter’s Tale”, Leontes, the King of Sicilia, becomes consumed with jealousy that Hermione, his wife, is having an affair with the King of Bohemia (Polixenes). He instructs his councillor Camillo to poison Polixenes, but instead Camillo reveals Leontes’ plans and both he and Polixenes secretly leave for Bohemia. The pregnant Hermione is banished to prison, where she gives birth to a daughter. Refusing to believe the legitimacy of the child, Leontes demands that the child be burned alive and then, upon the protestations of his chief adviser Antigonus, abandoned off the coast of Bohemia. In the events that unfold over the following Act, Leontes refuses to believe an oracle from Apollo’s Temple exonerating Hermione’s and orders her trial to proceed, his son Mamillius dies, Hermione dies, Leontes realises his mistake and repents, Antigonus is killed by a bear and a shepherd finds the abandoned baby and takes her home. Sixteen years later, in Bohemia, the story recommences with Polixenes expressing concern that his son Florizel has fallen in love with a shepherdess. He attends a sheep-shearing festival in disguise, revealing himself at the last moment to prevent the betrothal of the couple, after which Florizel and the shepherdess are advised by Camillo (now Polixenes’ chief adviser) to flee to Sicilia. When Polixenes also arrives in Sicilia with the shepherd and his son, the shepherdess’ identity as Leontes’ lost child is discovered and her marriage to Florizel condoned, Leontes and Polixenes are friends once more, and a statue of Hermione comes to life, revealing that she is alive and has been waiting to be reunited with her daughter.</span></p>
