  • The Scottish Background of the Sydney Publishing and Bookselling
    NOT MUCH ORIGINALITY ABOUT US: SCOTTISH INFLUENCES ON THE ANGUS & ROBERTSON BACKLIST Caroline Viera Jones he Scottish background of the Sydney publishing and bookselling firm of TAngus & Robertson influenced the choice of books sold in their bookshops, the kind of manuscripts commissioned and the way in which these texts were edited. David Angus and George Robertson brought fi'om Scotland an emphasis on recognising and fostering a quality homegrown product whilst keeping abreast of the London tradition. This prompted them to publish Australian authors as well as to appreciate a British literary canon and to supply titles from it. Indeed, whilst embracing his new homeland, George Robertson's backlist of sentimental nationalistic texts was partly grounded in the novels and verse written and compiled by Sir Walter Scott, Robert Bums and the border balladists. Although their backlist was eclectic, the strong Scottish tradition of publishing literary journals, encyclopaedias and religious titles led Angus & Robertson, 'as a Scotch firm' to produce numerous titles for the Presbyterian Church, two volumes of the Australian Encyclopaedia and to commission writers from journals such as the Bulletin. 1 As agent to the public and university libraries, bookseller, publisher and Book Club owner, the firm was influential in selecting primary sources for the colony of New South Wales, supplying reading material for its Public Library and fulfilling the public's educational and literary needs. 2 The books which the firm published for the See Rebecca Wiley, 'Reminiscences of George Robertson and Angus & Robertson Ltd., 1894-1938' ( 1945), unpublished manuscript, Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, ML MSS 5238.

  • The Collected Verse of A.B. Paterson : Containing the Man from Snowy
    The Collected Verse of A.B. ^^ Banjo^^ Paterson First published in 1921, The Collected Verse of A. B. Paterson has won and held a large and varied audience. Since the appearance of The Man from Snoiuy River in 1895, bushman and city dweller alike have made immediate response to the swinging rhythms of these inimitable tales in verse, tales that reflect the essential Australia. The bush ballad, brought to its perfection by Paterson, is the most characteristic feature of Australian literature. Even Gordon produced no better racing verse than "The Ama- teur Rider"' and "Old Pardon, the Son of Reprieve"; nor has the humour of "A Bush Christening" or "The Man from Ironbark" yet been out- shone. With their simplicity of form and flowing movement, their adventu- rous sparkle and careless vigour, Paterson's ballads stand for some- thing authentic and infinitely preci- ous in the Australian tradition. They stand for a cheerful and carefree attitude, a courageous sincerity that apart from is all too rare today. And, the humour and lifelikeness and ex- citement of his verse, Paterson sees kRNS and feels the beauty of the Australian landscape and interprets it so sponta- neously that no effort of art is ap- parent. In this he is the poet as well as the story-teller in verse. With their tales of bush life and adventure, their humour and irony "Banjo" Paterson's ballads are as fresh today as they ever were.

Paterson Preface Rolf Boldrewood It is not so easy to write ballads descriptive of the bushland of Australia as on light consideration would appear. Reasonably good verse on the subject has been supplied in sufficient quantity. But the maker of folksongs for our newborn nation requires a somewhat rare combination of gifts and experiences. Dowered with the poet's heart, he must yet have passed his ‘wander-jaehre’ amid the stern solitude of the Austral waste — must have ridden the race in the back-block township, guided the reckless stock-horse adown the mountain spur, and followed the night- long moving, spectral-seeming herd ‘in the droving days’.

  • Horses for Discourses: a Critical Examination of the Horse in Australian Culture
    Horses for Discourses: A critical examination of the horse in Australian culture Isa Menzies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Australian National University October 2019. ©Copyright Isa Menzies 2019 This work is the result of original research carried out by the author except where otherwise indicated in the text. ii Thanks and acknowledgements The path to submission of this thesis has been long, and oftentimes, undeniably bumpy. Yet as I reach the end of that road, I can honestly say that undertaking this work has been engaging, revelatory, and incredibly rewarding. And, against all received wisdom, I still find the topic fascinating! For this I owe my gratitude to all those who assisted me with the research—the interviewees, both formal and informal, who shared their unique wisdom and subject knowledge: Leisa Caldwell, Rob Gibbs, Di Thompson, Graeme Worboys, Terry Claven and Martha Sear; the numerous museum curators and staff who undertook the work of the ERIC survey, and shared the richness of their collections with me; and all those who, knowing my interest in horses, reached out with suggested readings, articles, and books. Like many students, my supervisory panel changed throughout the life of the project, and I am grateful to all who assisted in this capacity as the project evolved. I offer particular thanks to those who saw me over the line: Laurajane Smith, your support has been invaluable, and I am so grateful that you took me on when you did. You renewed my intellectual faith in the project, while also respecting my limited capacity to commit to it wholly and solely, as I juggled the thesis with the full-time parenting of a young child, and occasionally overwhelming work contracts.

  • Poetry Battle Lawson V Paterson Extension
    Good Samaritan YEAR 10 POETRY BATTLE LAWSON V PATERSON EXTENSION Up The Country by Henry Lawson I am back from up the country -- very sorry that I went -- Seeking for the Southern poets' land whereon to pitch my tent; I have lost a lot of idols, which were broken on the track, Burnt a lot of fancy verses, and I'm glad that I am back. Further out may be the pleasant scenes of which our poets boast, But I think the country's rather more inviting round the coast. Anyway, I'll stay at present at a boarding-house in town, Drinking beer and lemon-squashes, taking baths and cooling down. `Sunny plains'! Great Scott! -- those burning wastes of barren soil and sand With their everlasting fences stretching out across the land! Desolation where the crow is! Desert where the eagle flies, Paddocks where the luny bullock starts and stares with reddened eyes; Where, in clouds of dust enveloped, roasted bullock-drivers creep Slowly past the sun-dried shepherd dragged behind his crawling sheep. Stunted peak of granite gleaming, glaring like a molten mass Turned from some infernal furnace on a plain devoid of grass. Miles and miles of thirsty gutters -- strings of muddy water-holes In the place of `shining rivers' -- `walled by cliffs and forest boles.' Barren ridges, gullies, ridges! where the ever-madd'ning flies -- Fiercer than the plagues of Egypt -- swarm about your blighted eyes! Bush! where there is no horizon! where the buried bushman sees Nothing -- Nothing! but the sameness of the ragged, stunted trees! Lonely hut where drought's eternal, suffocating atmosphere Where the God-forgotten hatter dreams of city life and beer.

  • In the Shadow of the Australian Legend
    In the Shadow of the Australian Legend: Re-reading Australian Literature Elisa Bracalente Laurea in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (summa cum laude) University of Rome ‗Tor Vergata‘ This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2011 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... Elisa Bracalente ii Abstract The Australian legend worked as a romantic myth of survival, a foundational grand narrative that legitimised white Australian belonging to the land. The construction of an identity based on the bush ethos and on those values and characteristics recognised as quintessentially Australian helped in the creation of an imagined community. This myth carried a racist underpinning which limited the typical Australian to the category ‗white‘. Drawing on Foucault‘s discourse analysis I argue that the legend is a discourse, grounded in an untheorised whiteness which defines Australianness. The national identity was modelled on the exclusion of the ‗other‘ from any sense of belonging because Australianness was simply a substitute for whiteness. This exclusion worked on two levels; while it ensured cohesion among whites against a common enemy, it also provided a sense of belonging that could not be questioned because the ‗real‘ Australians, the indigenous people as the common enemy, were left out of a definition of Australianness. Over time this discourse evolved slightly, altering its characteristics, but maintaining its power position and ensuring that its core whiteness remained unaltered.

  • Banjo Paterson - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Banjo Paterson - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Banjo Paterson(17 February 1864 – 5 February 1941) Banjo Paterson was born at the property "Narrambla", near Orange, New South Wales, the eldest son of Andrew Bogle Paterson, a Scottish immigrant from Lanarkshire and Australian-born Rose Isabella Barton, related to the future first Prime Minister of Australia Edmund Barton. Paterson's family lived on the isolated Buckinbah Station in the Monaro until he was five when his father lost his wool clip in a flood and was forced to sell up. When Paterson's uncle died, his family took over the uncle's farm in Illalong, near Yass, close to the main route between Melbourne and Sydney. Bullock teams, Cobb and Co coaches and drovers were familiar sights to him. He also saw horsemen from the Murrumbidgee River area and Snowy Mountains country take part in picnic races and polo matches, which led to his fondness of horses and inspired his writings. Paterson's early education came from a governess, but when he was able to ride a pony, he was taught at the bush school at Binalong. In 1874 Paterson was sent to Sydney Grammar School, performing well both as a student and a sportsman. At this time, he lived in a cottage called Rockend, in the suburb of Gladesville. The cottage is now listed on the Register of the National Estate. Matriculating at 16, he took up the role of an articled clerk in a law firm and on 28 August 1886 Paterson was admitted as a qualified solicitor.
