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
A detail of the distinctive neo-gothic square tower at St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Adelaide, South Australia. The cornerstone was laid in 1887 and the lower part of the tower was constructed between 1923 and 1926. However, the tower then remained unfinished until 1996, when it was completed in accordance with drawings by the original nineteenth-century architects, Pugin & Pugin. The tower measures 36.5 metres in heights and is topped with four ornately decorated stone pinnacles.
St Francis Xavier is a Catholic cathedral of Gothic Revival design. Work on St Francis Xavier’s began at the instigation of its first bishop, Francis Murphy. The foundation stone was laid by Father Michael Ryan in 1856, and the building proceeded in five stages between 1858 and 1996. The initial portion of the cathedral was designed by Charles Hansom, a student of well-known Gothic Revivalist Augustine Welby Pugin, and comprised a small sanctuary, the central nave and two small side aisles. The first extension added a sanctuary, a Lady Chapel, a side chapel and a sacristy in 1860. In 1887, extensions to the Eastern side of the nave (designed by Peter Paul Pugin, son of Augustine Welby Pugin) were dedicated, and further extensions to the Western side of the nave were completed in 1926. Finally, the tower was completed in 1996. The cathedral is named after Francis Xavier, a sixteenth-century Jesuit priest and missionary.

Description
An account of the resource
Images of St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Adelaide, South Australia. St Francis Xavier is a Catholic cathedral of Gothic Revival design. The early stages of the building are reminiscent of English gothic architecture dating from the period c.1198-1307, and may have been modelled on the twelfth century Byland Abbey Church in Yorkshire, UK. Distinctive neo-gothic features of the completed cathedral include the large square tower, which measures 36.3m in height, the rose window, lancet arches, pinnacles, stone tracery and steep gables.
Work on St Francis Xavier’s began at the instigation of its first bishop, Francis Murphy. The foundation stone was laid by Father Michael Ryan in 1856, and the building proceeded in five stages between 1858 and 1996. The initial portion of the cathedral was designed by Charles Hansom, a student of well-known Gothic Revivalist Augustine Welby Pugin, and comprised a small sanctuary, the central nave and two small side aisles. The first extension added a sanctuary, a Lady Chapel, a side chapel and a sacristy in 1860.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Close-up image of the jarrah nave altar at St George’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.</p>
<p>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’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’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, “‘Thingless names’? The St George Legend in Australia”, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html</a>).</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
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
Images of the St George and the Dragon bronze statue at the entrance to the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of Viennese-born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. It was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of £1000 following the Centennial International Exhibition in 1888, and was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889. With the exception of some repositioning to accommodate Frémiet’s Jeanne d’Arc statue in 1907, this is where it still stands. The Boehm statue depicts St George, sitting astride his horse wearing a cape and a helmet bearing the distinctive St George cross, in the action of inflicting the dragon’s deathblow by means of a large spear. 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’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most early Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the statue features the knight and dragon fused 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, “‘Thingless names’? The St George Legend in Australia”, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html).

Description
An account of the resource
<p>St George Bank was formed in Sydney, New South Wales, in 1937 and is now a subsidiary of Westpac Banking Corporation. Despite its name, the logo of the bank fails to depict St George himself, but instead has a stylised head of a fire-breathing dragon, alluding to the popular tale of St George killing a dragon. The tale is thought to have been brought to Western Europe by crusaders returning from the Holy Lands in the eleventh century.</p>
