  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • Book History in Australia Since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1
    Book History in Australia since 1950 Katherine Bode Preprint: Chapter 1, Oxford History of the Novel in English: The Novel in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the South Pacific since 1950. Edited by Coral Howells, Paul Sharrad and Gerry Turcotte. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. Publication of Australian novels and discussion of this phenomenon have long been sites for the expression of wider tensions between national identity and overseas influence characteristic of postcolonial societies. Australian novel publishing since 1950 can be roughly divided into three periods, characterized by the specific, and changing, relationship between national and non-national influences. In the first, the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels, and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas. Yet a local industry also emerged, driven by often contradictory impulses of national sentiment, and demand for American-style pulp fiction. In the second period, the 1970s and 1980s, cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes supported the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and—along with the increasing globalization of publishing—enabled the entry of large, multinational enterprises into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the final period, since the 1990s. Nevertheless, these decades have also witnessed the ongoing development and consolidation of local publishing of Australian novels— including in new forms of e-publishing and self-publishing—as well as continued government and social support for this activity, and for Australian literature more broadly.

  • Don't Leave the Cake Unturned
    EDITORIAL The problem is that it looks so good, but only from one side. One of the current USA presidential candidates has trumped Don’t Leave Norman as his mentor. I reproduce here a quote from an article I read recently: The Cake Unturned “Christianity is a religion of losers.

To anyone I recall preaching on Hosea 7:8 almost 20 years ago. who does not win at life, it promises that whoever loses his life for Christ’s sake shall find it. At its center stands a truth that we are prone to forget. There are people who cannot be “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” made into winners, no matter how positive their thinking.

  • Religion and Social Class in the Lives of Two Leading Australian Women, Betty Archdale and Kylie Tennant
    Divine Horizons: Religion and Social Class in the Lives of Two Leading Australian Women, Betty Archdale and Kylie Tennant Deidre Michell Gender, Work and Social Inquiry University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, 5005 [email protected] Abstract: In this chapter I examine the experiences of two influential twentieth-century women, Betty Archdale (1907–2000) and Kylie Tennant (1912–1988), through the lenses of social class and religion. Both women were born into middle–upper-class families and both had mothers who continued to identify as Christian Scientists until they died. Archdale and Tennant, however, both converted to the Anglican Church as adults, sharing this as well as their ongoing critiques of the Australian establishment. Despite their conversion to mainstream Christianity, I argue that some aspects of Christian Science doctrine influenced both women in their public lives. Keywords: Betty Archdale, Kylie Tennant, social class, Christian Science, women’s leadership, social conditions, women in sport, girls’ education Betty Archdale (1909–2000) was a leader in women’s sport, particularly cricket. As a prominent educationalist during the 1950s and 1960s she was also an early advocate for what is now known as ‘lifelong learning’ and encouraged girls to take up studies in the ‘hard’ sciences in advance of the second wave feminist movement. Born in London, Archdale first became well known in Australia as captain of the English women’s cricket team during the significant first test match between the Australian women’s cricket team and the English women’s cricket team in the Australian summer of 1934–1935. During this first tour of Australia, Archdale was particularly struck by the egalitarian composition of the Australian women’s cricket team, a factor which influenced her decision to make her home in Sydney after World War II.

  • A Half-Closed Book
    A HALF-CLOSED BOOK Compiled by J. L. Herrera TO THE MEMORY OF: Mary Brice AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Madge Portwin, Margaret Clarke, Isla MacGregor, Bob Clark, Betty Cameron, Ken Herrera, Cheryl Perriman, and sundry libraries, op-shops, and book exchanges INTRODUCTION Just one more ramble through unexpected byways and surprising twists and turns … yes, I think everyone is allowed to go out with neither bang nor whimper but with her eyes glued to the page … Poor dear, people can say, she didn’t see that bus coming … The difficulty of course is where to store everything; and finding room in my mind is sometimes as tricky as finding room in my bedroom. But was it a good idea to do a short writer’s calendar? A year instead of my usual three years. I had mixed feelings about it. It was nice to see a book take shape so (relatively) swiftly. But I also felt the bits and pieces hadn’t had time to marinate fully. That sense of organic development had been hurried. I also found I tended to run with the simpler stories rather than the ones that needed some research—and some luck, some serendipity. On the other hand, how long a soaking constitutes a decent marinade? Not being a good cook I always find that hard to decide … So this will be a book without a deadline. One which can just wander along in spare moments. Its date will have to wait. Even so, I hope that anyone who happens to read it some day will enjoy it as much as I always enjoy the compiling of books on writing and reading.
