Title

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.

Description
An account of the resource
These two photographs show the entrance to St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne, Victoria. The elaborate porch has an arched entrance and includes sculptures of human heads as well as a tracery grill. St Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral was designed by English-born architect William Wardell and incorporated parts of an earlier church on the site. Although the foundation stone was laid in 1858, the cathedral was not consecrated until 1897, and was only completed in 1939. The bluestone building was built in the Gothic Revival style and is based on English churches of c. 1350-1500. The cathedral website is available at http://www.stpatrickscathedral.org.au/

This derelict castle building in the Perth suburb of Dog Swamp used to be part of The Land of Make Believe display centre. It was created by the brick and roofing tile company Wunderlich and featured small buildings based on fairytales. The castle was known as Old King Cole’s Castle, named after the figure in the British folk song/nursery rhyme. The small brick castle is reached by crossing a moat and has an arched entrance, crenellation, a tower, and balistraria (arrowslits).

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.

‘The Rule of the Many’, The Bulletin, 15 November 1890.
Subject
The topic of the resource
Democracy, feudalism, inequality, natural law, merit, poem, privilege, wealth, workers rights
Description
An account of the resource
This poem provides a vigorous denunciation of “the English caste system†and “celebrates the decay of feudalism,†at least in the Australian rural locale (Louise D'Arcens, Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p. 143). It praises “muscle and brain†(merit) while condemning the undeserving ruling classes, who it refers to as “Pampered idlersâ€. The point of the exercise is demonstrated in the lines: “King, prince and lord are a useless load and must by that law abide! / No Parliament can alter that fact, / Or the march of mankind stay.†The law that this section of the poem acknowledges is simply the law of Nature, for no law of man can usurp natural law. Underpinning everything else is the firm belief that the ‘fruits of the earth’ (its wealth and resources) are made not just for a select and powerful minority, but for everyone equally. The inescapable conclusion of the poem is that with the removal of the medieval ‘baggage’ of the past, i.e. feudalism, nostalgia, overlordship and the monarchy, the earth will return to an extended period of serenity and harmony under the sure-handed guidance of “the Peopleâ€.

Description
An account of the resource
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is another cheeky comment from <em>Bulletin</em> cartoonist Tom Durkin, directed at the reputedly self-important chairman of the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works, E. G. Fitzgibbon. In the cartoon Fitzgibbon is throwing a temper tantrum over the amount of money that should be allocated to the chairman (i.e. himself). The so-called ‘White Knight of Kerry’ is depicted, as Louise D’Arcens suggests, as “a pompous undersized figure, absurd in his full suit of armour” (Louise D'Arcens,<em> Old Songs in the Timeless Land: Medievalism in Australian Literature 1840-1910, </em> Turnhout: Brepols, 2011, p.24). Additionally, Durkin’s reference to “Councillor Gibbon” implies that FitzGibbon is really plain Edmund Gibbon, and that he has ‘taken on airs and graces’ by adding Fitz (an Anglo-Norman prefix meaning ‘son of’) to bolster his reputation and his claim to medieval ancestry. Fitzgibbon served in his role as chairman of the Board of Works for fourteen years until his death. For more information about him, see Bernard Barrett, 'FitzGibbon, Edmund Gerald (1825–1905)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, <a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/fitzgibbon-edmund-gerald-3530/text5439" target="_blank">http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/fitzgibbon-edmund-gerald-3530/text5439</a>.</span></span></span>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The present St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral was designed by English architect William Wardell, with minor changes made by local architects Hennessy, Hennessy and Co. Although the foundation stone was laid in 1868, the cathedral was not completed until 2000 when the spires originally planned by Wardell were finally built. The sandstone building is the largest church in Australia and is unusual in being orientated north-south rather than east-west. In 1930 the cathedral was granted the title of minor basilica by Pope Pius XI. It is in Gothic style with pointed arched windows, spires, towers, stained glass, tracery, and rose windows.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
This amusing temperance ‘ditty’ describes the adventures of “a burly Templar chief†whose carefree night of drinking turns out to be more than he expected or bargained for. The I.O.G.T. was a temperance society (The International Order of Good Templars). There were people from all walks of life and religious persuasions involved in the temperance movement in 1880s Australia, Britain, America and Sweden. Presumably the I.O.G.T. hierarchy viewed themselves as crusader knights fighting the “Good Fight,†and clearly a good fight was one that ended well for ‘true believers’ and badly for their foes (i.e. ‘winebibbers’, ‘publicans’ and ‘sinners). However, it should be noted that the Order of Knights Templar, a powerful military order and charitable organisation in the Middle Ages, was never actually forbidden the use of wine, and occasionally instances of over-indulgence were recorded (See Dominic Selwood, Knights of the Cloister: Templars and Hospitallers in central-southern Occitania c.1100-c.1300, Woodbridge, Boydell, 2001, p.205). This oversight reveals the mindset of those who supported the adoption of quasi-medieval terminology and ceremony in the nineteenth-century, without fully appreciating the history and behaviour of those whose names they had chosen to adopt.
