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.

An account of the resource
<p>Image of the Jeanne d’Arc bronze statue at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of French sculptor Emmanuel Frémiet, and is a cast of the 1899 version of his Jeanne d’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.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Joan of Arc:</span><br /> Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the French village of Domrémy. 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’ War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the Orléanist 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 Orléans from the Earl of Salisbury’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 Compiègne, 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.</p>
<p>For more information about this statue and its background, see Ted Gott, ‘An Iron Maiden for Melbourne – The History and Context of Emmanuel Frémiet’s 1906 Cast of Jeanne d’Arc’, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.53-68: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t5.html</a>.</p>

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.

A member of the public dressed as the iconic wizard Gandalf from J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings at the Perth Medieval Fayre. Like the Merlin figure in Arthurian legend, the character of Gandalf is a sage. He harbours power through wisdom and knowledge. The name ‘Gandalf’ was taken from Norse mythology. In Peter Jackson’s 2001-2003 screen adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Gandalf was played by Sir Ian McKellen.
The Perth Medieval Fayre is organised and run by the Western Australian Medieval Alliance. In 2011 it was held at Supreme Court Gardens on 19 March. Enthusiasts and vendors showcased a range of medieval arts and crafts, from dancing, calligraphy and lace-making to demonstrations of the techniques, weaponry and apparel of medieval combat.

A suit of plate armour on display at the Perth medieval Fayre. This type of armour, consisting of a breastplate and various other plates to protect the arms, legs, elbows, hands and shoulders, was crafted from steel and began to replace chainmail as the favoured armour for knights during the fourteenth century. For an explanation of changes to plate armour, including the addition and development of rerebraces, vambraces, pauldrons and gauntlets, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, see Kelly DeVries, Medieval Military Technology, Peterborough, Broadview press, 1992.
The Perth Medieval Fayre is organised by the Western Australian Medieval Alliance (WAMA). In 2011 it was held at Supreme Court Gardens on 19 March.

A recreationist knight clad in a chainmail haubergeon and byrnie at the Perth Medieval Fayre. Chain mail was used extensively in the middle ages to fashion protective garments by interlocking thousands of metal rings to form a meshed material. These chainmail garments were worn by medieval knights and soldiers as body armour, although chainmail was gradually superseded by plate armour in the fourteenth century.

Image of the Old Swan Barracks Hotel in Perth, Western Australia. The Swan Barracks was originally used as a military training facility. A Volunteer Drill Hall was built in 1896 and this rusticated stone building was added in 1897 to house the administration offices. Both were designed by WA’s chief Government architect George Temple-Poole. The architecture of the Administration Building incorporates a number of medieval features, including the large heraldic shield, the neo-Romanesque rounded arches and columns of the balcony and the crenellation that was used for decorative effect along the top of the third storey, which was added in 1900. The building is no longer used by the Australian army, and today functions as a backpacker hostel.

Medievalism on the Streets
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive. In this Collection you will find items relating to medievalism in public contexts and popular culture, and the revisitation or reenactment of the Middle Ages by groups such as the Society for Creative Anachronism.
