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
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.

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.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Great Synagogue on Elizabeth Street in central Sydney opened in 1878, when it was described as a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, Byzantine, and Moorish motifs (according to the official website – link provided below). The architectural style has also been described as Transitional French Gothic. The synagogue was designed by Sydney architect Thomas Rowe. These two photographs show the much less elaborate rear of the building with Romanesque rounded-arch windows on Castlereagh Street. This section of the synagogue housed a school and Beadle’s (caretaker) residence, but only the façade at the rear is original. </p>

Description
An account of the resource
A view of a traceried gothic window at Scot’s Church on Collins Street in central Melbourne. Above the window, an arcade of lancet arches lines the gable. A number of other slender lancet windows and examples of decorative blind tracery are visible.
Scot’s Church was built in a decorated Gothic Revival style to the design of architectural firm Reed & Barnes. It is constructed from Barrabool Hills freestone with sandstone dressings sourced from New Zealand. The current Scot’s Church building was completed in 1874 and replaced an older church that had operated from the site since 1841. The site was granted to the Church of Scotland in 1839, and transferred to the Presbyterian Church of Victoria upon its formation in 1859 (when the Church of Scotland, the United Presbyterian Church and the Free Church united). Other characteristic neo-gothic features of Scot’s Church include its 120ft spire, which for a number of years was the highest point in Melbourne’s townscape, its decorative quoins, buttresses, and pinnacles. The church also boasts a number of stained glass windows by well-known artists such as Ferguson & Urie of Melbourne, Van der poorten of Brussels and F.X. Zettler of Munich.

<p>This photograph shows the guardhouse that was originally part of the entrance to Government House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. The building was completed in 1848 and is thought to have been built by the Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis. The guardhouse was in the Gothic Revival style and resembles a small castle with its tower and arched windows. The building was originally on Macquarie Street but was moved back in 1915 when the Sydney Conservatorium of Music moved into the former stables (Greenway Building) to provide public access.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Cartoonist Phil May here encapsulates the main problems of a premature pitch by NSW for Australian Federation. The doughty knight (Sir Henry) is ready to do battle with ‘all and sundry,’ for he needs to pay off (or perhaps unload the responsibility of) his debts. The symbols of his fiscal carelessness are daubed on his surcoat and shield. This was a sticking point in the Federation debate, where the difficult question “Who would take responsibility for the unequal debts and liabilities of the [other] colonies?” frequently arose (See Beverley Kingston, <em>The Oxford History of Australia: Glad, Confident Morning 1860-1900</em>, vol. 3, Oxford: OUP, 1993, p. 56). Indeed, this question was still being debated at the 1910 elections (See, for example: </span><a href="http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15142572" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15142572</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">). While Sir Henry is keen to push forward, the female figure in the cartoon - ‘That State House’ - wears mourning black and remains unconvinced, for it is she who will have to find the money and manage things should the need arise. The State House in question is most likely the Senate, the then much debated Upper House of the projected Federal Parliament (See R. C. Baker, <em> Federation</em>, Adelaide: Scrymgour & Sons, 1897, p. 4).</span></span>

An account of the resource
The church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel and Sts Peter and Paul is in the small rural Western Australian town of Mullewa. The church was built between 1920 and 1927 to the design of Monsignor John Cyril Hawes, who was the priest at Mullewa. His design for the church changed following a study tour to France, Spain and Italy in 1923, and Hawes stated that the style was inspired by twelfth-century churches found in southern France. The exterior of the church is in Romanesque style with possible Byzantine influence on the two domes. It features a bell tower (campanile), semi-circular arched windows, columns, and bas-relief sculpture.
For more on the architecture of Monsignor Hawes see John J. Taylor, Between Devotion and Design: The Architecture of John Cyril Hawes 1876-1956 (University of Western Australia Press, Nedlands, 2000).
