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published for the See Rebecca Wiley, 'Reminiscences of George Robertson and Angus & Robertson Ltd., 1894-1938' ( 1945), unpublished manuscript, Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, ML MSS 5238. -

1 Cathy Perkins. the Shelf Life of Zora Cross. Clayton
Cathy Perkins. The Shelf Life of Zora Cross. Clayton: Monash University Publishing, 2020. 285 pp. A$29.95. ISBN: 978-1-925835-53-3 Once a week for two years, I caught the bus from West End to Teneriffe in Brisbane for French classes, stepping off at Skyring Terrace near the new Gasworks Plaza. I was terrible at French and never did my homework, but I persisted out of a lifelong dream of writing in Paris. When I picked up Cathy Perkins’s The Shelf Life of Zora Cross, I realised that I was walking a street with a literary connection: Skyring was the surname of writer Zora Cross’s grandfather. Chance encounters bring us to poetry. In the basement of the Mitchell Library in NSW, a collection of letters led researcher Cathy Perkins to the author of the enormously popular Songs of Love and Life, published in 1917. Although this work sold four thousand copies via three reprints, by the time of Cross’s death in 1964 the author was slipping into obscurity. Two efforts had been made to draw attention to her importance in Australia’s literary history: Dorothy Green’s Australian Dictionary of Biography entry (1981) and an attempted biography by Michael Sharkey which was abandoned in favour of a biography of Cross’s partner, writer David McKee Wright. By the mid-1980s, Perkins writes, Cross had ‘fallen so far from literary consciousness that poets Judith Wright and Rosemary Dobson felt safe in recommending that the Australian Jockey Club name a horserace after her’ (86–87). By contrast Perkins, when she found a reference to Songs of Love and Life in the basement among the letters of George Robertson, publisher at Angus and Robertson, she was captivated. -

Matthias Boeckl Rekonstruktion Einer Verlorenen Kultur
www.doew.at Matthias Boeckl Rekonstruktion einer verlorenen Kultur Aus: Fritz Schwarz-Waldegg. Maler-Reisen durchs Ich und die Welt, hrsg. v. Matthias Boeckl für das Jüdische Museum der Stadt Wien, Wien 2009, S. 15–31 Veröffentlichung mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Autors Obwohl die so genannte Zwischenkriegszeit unserer Gegenwart näher steht als etwa die Zeit um 1900, ist die detaillierte Rekonstruktion des Wiener Kunst- betriebs von 1918 bis 1938 ein wesentlich schwierigeres Unterfangen als die Historiografie des Wiener Jugendstils. Der Grund dafür liegt auf der Hand: Die 1920er und 1930er Jahre waren jene Ära, in der nach den historischen Entwick- lungsschritten der Toleranz, der Emanzipation und schließlich der Assimilation der Juden Österreichs in vielen gutbürgerlich-jüdischen Familien eine Genera- tion aufgewachsen war, die ausgeprägte künstlerische und intellektuelle Ambi- tionen hegte. Das großteils urbane Umfeld und die betont musische und kultu- relle Bildung, die in vielen jüdischen Familien einen wichtigen Teil der Tradi- tion und Identität bildete, sowie oftmals saturierte wirtschaftliche Verhältnisse, die derlei Betätigungen nun vermehrt ermöglichten, bereicherten das Wiener Kulturleben um eine große Anzahl jüdischer Schriftsteller, Maler, Architekten und Gelehrter. Trotz latenter und später offen antisemitischer Stimmungen etwa an der Universität oder in Künstlerorganisationen wie der Secession und dem 1934 gegründeten Neuen Werkbund, die keine jüdischen Mitglieder aufnah- men, beteiligten sich 1918 bis 1938 mehr jüdische
