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
This article from <em>The Register</em> in 1915 traces the origins of Mothers’ Day celebrations to the medieval period, when adolescent children would be afforded a holiday from work on the fourth Sunday in Lent to ‘go a-mothering’. On such occasions, the article explains, family members would assemble and pay homage to mothers by presenting gifts, and a general air of festivity ensued with special Church services and prayers containing more than usual reference to family life. While some elements of the festivities were not adopted in Australia, the article continues, the observance of mothers day is regularly marked by the wearing of white flowers, and by annual festivals such as the one conducted at the Young Women’s Christian Association headquarters in Adelaide.

An account of the resource
British actor, Robert Speaight (as Thomas a'Becket) in the murder scene from 'Murder in the Cathedral', performed in Bonython Hall, Adelaide, with 4 knights (L to R: Ron Haddrick, Ken Broadbent, Eric Reiman and Ron Graham, members of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre).
‘Murder in the Cathedral’ is a verse drama written by T. S. Eliot and first performed in 1935. The plot recreates the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket by four knights at Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170. The knights - Reginald Fitzurse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy and Richard le Bret - had overhead Henry II complaining about Becket and interpreted it as an order to kill him.

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 student essay submitted by Nancy White as part of her assessment for ‘ENGL2238: The Medieval in the Modern World’, a second year English unit delivered by Professor Andrew Lynch at The University of Western Australia. In this essay, the author traces the origins, and outlines the principles guiding participation in, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) - a medieval re-enactment group. She explains the ties of the SCA to Victorian medievalism, and the influence of popular culture through films such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The essay also discusses the research that is invested in the costumes and names chosen by the participants, and the culture of chivalry that underpins the tournaments they host.
With thanks to the author for permission to include a copy of this essay.

Description
An account of the resource
A close-up of the contrasting light and dark brickwork used in the construction of the spire for one of the buildings comprising the Brunswick Uniting Church, which is located on Sydney Road in Brunswick, Melbourne. The Brunswick Uniting Church is unusual because two churches stand on the same site. They are of distinctly different appearance but boast similar neo-gothic features, namely the spires and the contrast between a dark building material and the light dressings that frame the pointed lancet windows. The first church, featured here, was constructed in 1865 to the neo-gothic design of well-known architect Charles Webb. It is a bluestone structure with a cream brick spire and cream window dressings. The second church was added in 1885. Designed by architect Evander McIver, it is a brown brick structure with cream dressings and bold, decorative quoins on the corners and buttresses. Both structures were originally built as Presbyterian churches.

The Mitchell Building was designed by South Australian architect Willliam McMinn in the Victorian Academic Gothic style. It was completed between 1879 and 1881, and officially opened in 1882. The Mitchell Building was the first building on the North Terrace campus of The University of Adelaide and originally housed all of the university disciplines. It was named the Mitchell Building in 1961 in honour of Sir William Mitchell, who was Vice-Chancellor of the university from 1916-1942 and Chancellor from 1942-1948. Today it is used as an administrative hub. The Mitchell Building’s neo-gothic features include its steeply gabled roof, lancet windows, decorative stone tracery and the roof fleche/spire.
