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.

chivalry, doggerel, knight, knighthood, lampoon, satire, peerage, popular anti-medievalism, social pretention
Description
An account of the resource
These light-hearted verses describe the endeavours of a motley band of ‘gallants’ with dubious social origins, who jostle and vie for the hand of Lady Podophylline Musa Miggs, daughter of the Baron of Potts Point, in Sydney. These are but two of the made-up names of the various ‘aristocratic’ protagonists and suitors. Others are: Lord Golfo McGuff, Sir Perryman Pym, and the Marquis of Manganese. Add to these the two front-runners, Sir Peblar de Bart, and Sir Jago Phipp, and the tale gets underway with a smirk. It is clear from the outset that, “It is difficult to grasp the point of the [...] rather silly narrative†(Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p.145). Indeed, there is little more than lunacy (or moon sickness) contained within the poem’s doggerel verses. Even keeping track of the events leading to the outcome requires perspicacity. This is popular medievalism run amok in the Antipodes: a satirical commentary on these not so ‘gentle-born’ knights, a fair maiden, and her father ‘the baron,’ along with a veritable fortune or dowry comprised almost entirely of chickens and pigs! The maiden finally succumbs to the blandishments of a coachman, while the others jettison their chances through various foolhardy intrigues and disappear to places obscure.

‘Light’ Verses
Subject
The topic of the resource
adversary, knight, lampoon, lance, Macquarie Lighthouse, NSW Politics, Port Jackson, satire, Sir Henry Parkes, Sir John Robertson, Sydney Harbour, The Bulletin, verse
Description
An account of the resource
This poem is an example of the satirical verses published by The Bulletin to ridicule the perceived “opportunistic and self-serving†collaborative association between former political opponents (aka ‘rivals’), Sir Henry Parkes, and Sir John Robertson aka ‘the Knight of Clovelly’ (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout, Brepols, 2011, pp.147-48). The occasion that warranted lampooning here was the inauguration of the new Macquarie lighthouse (South Head, Port Jackson). The poem’s backdrop is that of two ‘worthy’ knights. Formerly bitter adversaries, they now seem ‘reconciled’ and working together for the common good, albeit at considerable expense to public funding, and to general good will, while stretching the city of Sydney’s patience to the limits.
