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.

Description
An account of the resource
This article from Brisbane publication <em>The Worker</em> rebukes derisive comments published by a London journalist mocking Australia’s legislation concerning workers as a reversion to medieval trade laws. Responding to McKenzie’s quip that ‘Under the guise of the most advanced democracy you are reverting to regulations which strongly resemble the rigid conditions and strict trade laws of medieval life’, the author of the article cites research arguing that medieval workers were comparatively better off than modern workers, and suggests that the old trade guilds only failed when they started admitting the bosses into their membership. With a swipe at the British economy and working conditions, the author concludes that Australian workers will not be frightened by medievalism if it means better conditions and more pay: ‘We who go back 2000 years for our religion have no need to be ashamed of reverting a few centuries to pick up an economic hint or two. We go backwards sometimes to progress’.

Description
An account of the resource
The writer credits the craft guilds of medieval England for the eight-hour system, including the Saturday half-holiday. The latter was supposed to be devoted to archery practice, which eventually ensured English mastery of the bow and arrow and their successes at Agincourt and Poitiers. Later in the article, King Alfred is cited as the originator of the divided day: sleep, work and recreation.
Although the eight-hour movement was won in Melbourne in 1856 after the stonemasons working on the construction of the University of Melbourne marched to the Government House, the writer asserts that it was won in Sydney in 1855 for the Tooth’s brewery workers.

<p>A photograph from c. 1911 of a large crowd lining Argent Street in Broken Hill to watch a Labor Day procession of men carrying union banners.</p>
<p>Union banners have a medieval predecessor in the banners used by guilds (an association of craftsmen in the same trade), with each guild having a banner to show their trade. Some historians consider trade unions to be the successors of medieval guilds.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
Working or labour songs were a feature of nineteenth century (and later) union gatherings and processions. The songs and communal singing evoke peasant or folk traditions. The song gives the workers the high-ground because they resort to moral rather than bellicose means to gain the Eight Hours Day. They are proud to declare they did not shed blood for their ‘crown’.
Transliteration from Trove [HH]
All hail to the Knights of Labor!
All hail to the Eight Hours Day!
Far better than wielding the sabre,
Is your peaceful and grand display.
Your banners float proudly over
To tell how your cause was won
Since the time when your day would cover
From rising to setting sun.
But do not forget you have brothers
Who toll in the midnight’s gloom,
Or sisters, perchance, or others
Who are wasting their youthful bloom;
Who sweat when they world is sleeping,
To win starvation’s meat,
With no relief save weeping –
Their lot is hard indeed.
All hail to our glorious Union!
Success to the A.M.A.!
That fought like brave and true men
Till they gained the Eight Hours Day.
No sanguine conflict marred the strife,
‘Twas moral force alone
That gained the glorious victory
That might adorn a throne.

‘Labor Omnia Vincit’ (work conquers everything) is a historically significant slogan associated with the American and English labour movements. It was also the motto of the Knights of Labour, a group started in the 1860s in America. The Knights of Labor had members in Australia in the late nineteenth century. Geelong (Vic.) Trades Hall adopted the slogan as its motto and inscribed it on their building. A large number of Australian schools have also taken the slogan as their school code.

Description
An account of the resource
Report on the Eight Hours Day procession in Melbourne in 1888. The article describes the vivid and essentially working-class flavour of the skilled trades procession and after-picnic in Melbourne. The tinsmiths’ knightly armour invokes literary and historical figures of the past. The novel Ivanhoe was set in the twelfth century but was written by Sir Walter Scott in the early nineteenth century; Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is a seventeenth-century novel. Richard the Lionheart or Richard I of England was a twelfth-century warrior king. The author’s idea about what constitutes ‘the medieval’ is heavily mediated by popular fictions and depictions of their time.

This illustration portrays the great fear of the establishment in the late nineteenth century in Australia, an organised workforce. Union organisation and affiliation and the strengthening of fraternities and friendly societies appeared to create a monster. King Working-Man, with tin crown emboldened with the symbol of the eight-hour movement on it, with working man’s garb and hobnailed boots, lounges on his humble wooden throne clasping a sceptre. Premier Gilles is his attendant while wool, timber, shipping and sugar magnates grovel at his feet.

Description
An account of the resource
This illustration is an early reference to the beginnings of the eight-hour movement. One of the first marches took place in Melbourne in 1856, when the Stonemasons working on the build of the University of Melbourne, marched to Parliament protesting their long hours and harsh working conditions. It echoes the Peasants’ Revolt in the late fourteenth-century when, after the plague, workers threatened to give their labour to the highest bidder, and move to different regions. [HH]
