                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Image of the Jeanne d&amp;rsquo;Arc bronze statue at the State Library of  Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of French sculptor  Emmanuel Fr&amp;eacute;miet, and is a cast of the 1899 version of his Jeanne d&amp;rsquo;Arc  which stands in the Place des Pyramides in Paris. Purchased in 1906 by  Bernard Hall, the Director of the National Gallery of Victoria, with  funds from the Felton Bequest, it was installed at the entrance to the  State Library of Victoria on 4 February 1907. The sculpture depicts the  young Joan of Arc astride a war-horse, dressed in her body-armour and  raising an oriflamme banner.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About Joan of Arc:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the French village of Domr&amp;eacute;my. From the  age of about 12, Joan had visions of saints and heard heavenly voices  that increasingly urged her to fight for France during the Hundred  Years&amp;rsquo; War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the  Orl&amp;eacute;anist claimant to the throne, where she was provided with a suit of  armour and her distinctive banner depicting a golden fleur-de-lys. She  secured a decisive military victory to rescue the city of Orl&amp;eacute;ans from  the Earl of Salisbury&amp;rsquo;s English army in 1429, and was present at the  coronation of Charles VII. However, in May the following year Joan was  captured by Burgundian forces at Compi&amp;egrave;gne, and was handed over to the  English. She was tried at Rouen on charges of witchcraft and heresy, and  was condemned to death. On 30 May 1431, she was executed. Two and a  half decades later, the case was appealed and her conviction was  overturned. She was beatified in 1909 and canonised as a saint in 1920.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;This watercolour by Australian artist Christian Waller was gifted to the Art Gallery of Ballarat in 1933 by the Women&amp;rsquo;s Association. It depicts a woman in medieval dress whom the title identifies as Morgan Le Fay. Morgan Le Fay is a sorceress/healer in Arthurian legend. Starting with Chr&amp;eacute;tien de Troyes in the late twelfth century, she is often named as Arthur&amp;rsquo;s half-sister (by his mother Igerne). She plays a key adversarial role in much Arthurian literature; she is often depicted trying to expose the adulterous liaisons of Lancelot and Guinevere, and attempting to bring about Arthur&amp;rsquo;s downfall. She does this by using her magic powers to give Arthur&amp;rsquo;s sword, Excalibur, to her lover Accolon (while leaving Arthur unknowingly with a counterfeit), and by throwing Excalibur into the lake. At the end of Thomas Malory&amp;rsquo;s fifteenth-century text &lt;em&gt;Le Morte d&amp;rsquo;Arthur, &lt;/em&gt;however, she resumes her healing role by taking Arthur to Avalon and tending to the wounded king. For a copy of &lt;em&gt;Le Morte d&amp;rsquo;Arthur, &lt;/em&gt;see: &lt;a href="http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/m/malory/thomas/m25m/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/m/malory/thomas/m25m/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. In the background of Waller&amp;rsquo;s painting are numerous medieval references: a lance, a heraldic shield, a helmet, a picture of a knight riding a horse, and a set of highly symbolic keys given Morgan Le Fay&amp;rsquo;s power in Arthurian legend.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;About Christian Waller:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Christian Waller was born Christian Marjory Emily Carlyle Yandell in 1894 in Castlemaine, Victoria. In 1910 she moved to Melbourne with her family. There she attended the National Gallery Schools and won acclaim from a young age, receiving a number of student prizes, exhibiting her work with the Victorian Artists Society and featuring in illustrated publications such as Franklin Petersons &lt;em&gt;Melba&amp;rsquo;s Gift Book of Australian Art and Literature &lt;/em&gt;in 1915. In 1915 she married fellow artist Mervyn Napier Waller. He lost his right arm the following year serving on the Western Front, and Christian supported him upon his return to Australia by working as a commercial artist. During the 1920s she became a book illustrator, and her work from this period has been described as reflecting &amp;ldquo;Classical, Medieval, Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau influences&amp;rdquo; (See Thomas, David, 'Waller, Christian Marjory Emily Carlyle (1894&amp;ndash;1954)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, &lt;a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/waller-christian-marjory-emily-carlyle-11944/text21407" target="_blank"&gt;http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/waller-christian-marjory-emily-carlyle-11944/text21407&lt;/a&gt;, accessed 4 February 2012). From 1928 Waller started designing stained glass windows. This was an artistic medium in which she was prolific, and for which she became well known, during the 1930s and 40s.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>In this report from Munich in 1933, an â€˜amusing storyâ€™ about the escape of Nazi leader Franz Hofer from an Austrian prison is recounted for WA readers. Not long before his escape in August 1933, Hofer said, he heard one of the Austrian warders singing the Nazi anthem with the additional line â€œBondage will only last a short time nowâ€. This he correctly interpreted as a sign that he would soon be rescued. The article likens the incident to a legend concerning the imprisonment of Richard the Lionheart in the twelfth century. In 1192, Richard I of England was captured by Leopold V of Austria on his return from the Third Crusade. He was held for a significant ransom, which Richardâ€™s mother - Eleanor of Aquitaine - raised. Richard was eventually released and returned to England in 1194. A popular chivalric legend emerged that a faithful troubadour named Blondel travelled from castle to castle after Richard was captured singing a song that would be recognisable only to him, in order to discover the place of Richardâ€™s imprisonment.   </text>

                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>This photograph, taken by Julia Margaret Cameron in 1874, is held by the Art Gallery of South Australia. It depicts Sir Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend, and a nun. The illegitimate son of Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic, Galahad was raised in a convent under the care of the Abbess, his Great Aunt. He was one of only 3 Knights to see the Holy Grail, and is renowned in legend for his gallantry, his piety and his purity. He was a popular character in the Victorian revival of Arthurian myth, and these qualities were emphasised in Alfred Lord Tennysonâ€™s 1842 poem â€˜Sir Galahadâ€™. This particular photograph appeared as Plate IX in Alfred Lord Tennysonâ€™s Idylls of the King and Other Poems, a collection of 12 narrative poems retelling the King Arthur legend published between 1856 and 1885. Tennysonâ€™s version was based primarily on two well-known medieval texts: Sir Thomas Maloryâ€™s Le Morte dâ€™Arthur and the Mabinogion. </text>

It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™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.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Close-up image of the jarrah nave altar at St George&amp;rsquo;s Cathedral in Perth, Western Australia. The altar features a hand-carved knight and dragon against a St George shield to portray the St George legend. It was carved by Robin McArthur and installed in the Cathedral in 1991. The addition of this new altar at the head of the nave enabled the Eucharist service to be conducted closer to, and facing, the laity. Continuing the traditional associations of Christianity with military service that are present throughout the Cathedral, the image of St George as an armoured knight has the effect of, as Andrew Lynch has suggested, conflating piety and prowess in a positive way.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais&amp;rsquo; Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine&amp;rsquo;s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the image features the knight and dragon in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale. For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, &amp;ldquo;&amp;lsquo;Thingless names&amp;rsquo;? The St George Legend in Australia&amp;rdquo;, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: &lt;a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</text>

It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais&amp;rsquo; Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine&amp;rsquo;s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the image features the knight and dragon in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale. For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, &amp;ldquo;&amp;lsquo;Thingless names&amp;rsquo;? The St George Legend in Australia&amp;rdquo;, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: &lt;a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;</text>
