Most of their staff are engaged in direct service to the present university community or in acquiring and making the basic finding records for books, periodicals, tapes and other information sources. Compiling a catalogue of manuscripts is a different type of operation which university libraries can all too seldom afford. It is a painstaking, detailed, time-consuming operation for which a busy library and busy librarians find difficulty in finding time and protecting that time from the insistent demand of the customer standing impatiently at the service counter. Yet a collection of manuscripts languishes unusable and unknown if its contents have not been listed and published. The present catalogue exists through the dedication of the staff of the Fryer Library of Australian literature, and in particular of Margaret Brenan and Nancy Bonnin. In recent years gifts and bequests have streamed into the Fryer Library at a much faster pace than staff could be spared to organise them. The Hayes Collection is so outstanding that it was imperative that time should be found for it even if other material had to remain virtually unpacked and able to be consulted only by relying on human memory and inspiration. At the time when Father Hayes' magnificent collection was acquired in 1967 the late Vice-Chancellor, Sir Fred Schoneil, set aside a substantial sum of money to ensure that the necessary work could be done. The present catalogue is one of the consequences of his foresight. I hope that it v/ill be found valuable by scholars and research workers for many years to come. F.D.O. Fielding University Librarian December 1975. PREFACE The publication of this catalogue is the final milestone on a long march which began in 1967 when the Hayes Collection came to the University of Queensland. A previous publication, THE HAYES COLLECTION, published in 1970, tells something of Archdeacon Hayes' life, and describes in general terms the extensive collection of books and periodicals, manuscripts, artifacts, paintings and prints, coins, bookplates, postage stamps and other items amassed by Father Hayes during his long life. When the Hayes brochure was published, the size of the manuscript collection was not fully known. The non-book materials had been roughly sorted, and what appeared to be the most important manuscripts selected and catalogued, but a great deal remained untouched. Since 1970, the staff of the Fryer Library have continued to work through the papers, discovering in the process much additional material of value. The personal papers and parish correspondence of Father Hayes were divided into broad categories and catalogued in general descriptive terms. Detailed catalogue entries were not made for this section of the Hayes collection. The index lists names of correspondents, including some societies, where this was felt to be warranted. All other correspondents are included in lists held with the papers them­ selves. It will be noted that there are very few letters written by Fr. Hayes. This is a void which we hope may be filled, since he was a tireless correspondent, and a much loved man. We hope that people who have kept his letters may feel they would like to share them, and make provision for their eventual deposit in the Kayes Collection. The chief interest of this catalogue for scholars lies, I think, in the literary material - manuscripts and correspondence of A.G. Stephens, Mary Gilmore, Paul Grano, John Howlett Ross, F.W.S. Cumbrae- Stewart and many others - but there is much else of value. Father Hayes' wide interests included anthropology, geology, Australian history, particularly Queensland local histories, wildlife and conservation There is evidence of all these. He was above all a good parish priest, as well as a scholar and bibliophile, and as he seldom threw anything away, so far as one can judge, there is much Catholic Church history hidden away in his papers. He kept numerous letters from parishioners, nuns and fellow priests which reflect changing social patterns in Queensland. The papers of a priest of an earlier generation, Monsignor Michael Potter, are included in the Hayes Collection. Michael Potter (1857- 1944) was an Irish-born priest who came to Queensland in 1877, following the example of his elder sisters, Mother Mary Patrick and Sister Mary Michael, of All Hallows Convent, Brisbane. They were members of a large, close family, and wrote at great length to each other, to their parents in Ireland, and to brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces. Michael Potter was not a scholarly, gentle booklover like Fr. Hayes. Possibly the hard conditions of his long service in the Church in Queensland would have precluded this, but one feels IX from reading his papers that he was a practical man rather than a student. He always, however, wrote his sermon notes and the more confidential letters to his Archbishop in Latin, which suggests that scholarship was not foreign to him. He was a great builder of churches, parish halls and schools and was responsible for bringing the Christian Brothers to Warwick where they opened their school in 1912. The crowning achievement of his work was St. Mary's Church, which was started under Fr. Horan, opened in 1926 and by 1944 cleared of debt. Mgr. Potter's detailed correspondence with Mother Patrick tells much of the growth of Catholic education in Queensland. Letters from parishioners reveal the importance of the parish priest in isolated districts at the end of the Nineteenth Century, when the priest was social worker, ombudsman, missing persons bureau and general source of information and advice. No attempt has been made to evaluate the importance of manuscripts listed in this catalogue. Much apparently trivial correspondence has been included. The only concession has been to exclude the personal papers and family and parish correspondence of Leo Hayes and Michael Potter, restricting entries in the published catalogue to broad general ones. Considerations of size and cost made this necessary but more detailed lists are available in the library. The arrangement of the catalogue is alphabetical. Initially there was no intention to provide biographical details such as dates of birth and death, since this is not the practice of this library. As the work of editing progressed we changed our attitude to some extent. The catalogue is certainly not a bibliographic tool, but when in the course of checking for full names, and identification in the case of common names, dates were ascertained, it seemed desirable to include them in the entries. This applies only to Australians and New Zealanders. Thus the reader will find the dates of a minor Queensland writer - but not the dates of Charles Dickens, or for that matter, William Shakespeare. The sources of information are acknowledged in the bibliography. Dates given on manuscript sheets by their authors, or subsequent editors or owners, have been published without investigation or comment. A.G. Stephens was probably reliable in these matters, others may not have been. There was a considerable temptation to pursue our researches in depth, but we resisted, keeping our minds firmly fixed on a date of publication, which might otherwise have been postponed indefinitely. The initial cataloguing of the manuscripts was the work of Marianne Ehrhardt, then Special Collections Librarian. The work was continued by Margaret Brenan and Carol Hetherington. Early sorting and cataloguing of the Grano and Howlett Ross papers was done by Alison McCreath. The style of typography was to some extent dictated by the limit­ ations of the machine used to record entries. Some details, such as the use of a colon to indicate the beginning of a title, will displease many people, but after some experimentation was chosen as a clear if inelegant method of indicating titles of books or individual manuscripts. The descriptive entries for correspondence may at times prove enigmatic. One feels there should be either a lot more information X or none, particularly when the latter is of a trivial nature, but as with the inclusion or exclusion of certain types of correspondence, discrimination would have been invidious. We hope that there are no false leads to non-existent information, but sufficient indication of subject matter to allow the scholar to select what is relevant to his research. There are two indexes: a name index, which is predominantly a list of correspondents, though certain names appear because they are editors or illustrators, or otherwise qualify for added entry according to normal cataloguing conventions. The second is a subject index. This includes places, institutions, names of periodicals and personal names where the person is the subject of a letter. Thus a name may well appear in both indexes. There is no title index to this published catalogue, as it was held that the titles of original work by major authors were readily available in the body of the catalogue, and to list all the titles of verse submitted for anthologies, frequently rejected as unsuitable, would be a bulky and confusing procedure, resulting in long lists of similar or identical titles.

  • 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.

That same year Louise E Rorabacher wrote a book-length study - Marjorie Barnard and M Barnard Eldershaw, after agreeing not to write about Barnard's private life. This led to many studies of the pair's joint literary output and short biographical studies and much misinformation, from scholars beguiled into believing Barnard's stories which were often deliberately disseminated to protect the secrecy of the affair that dominated her life between 1934 and 1942. A re-examination of her life and work is now necessary because there have been huge misunderstandings about other aspects of Barnard's life, too. Her habit of telling imaginary stories denigrating her father, led to him being maligned by his daughter's interviewers. Marjorie's commonest accusation was of her father's meanness, starting with her student allowance, but if the changing value of money is taken into account, her allowance (for pocket money) was extremely generous compared to wages of the time.

The first members of his family to come to Van Diemen’s Land were Frederick Lewis von Stieglitz and two of his brothers who arrived in 1829. Henry Lewis, another brother, and the father of John Charles and grandfather of Karl, arrived the following year. John Charles von Stieglitz, after qualifying as a surveyor in Tasmania, moved to Northern Queensland in 1868, where he worked as a surveyor with the Queensland Government, later acquiring properties near Townsville. In 1883, at Townsville he married Mary Mackenzie, who died in 1883. Later he went to England where he married Lillian Stead in London in 1886. On his return to Tasmania he purchased “Andora”, Evandale: the impressive house on the property was built for him in 1888. He was the MHA for Evandale from 1891 to 1903. Karl von Stieglitz visited England with his father during 1913-1914. After his father’s death in 1916, he took possession of “Andora”. He enlisted in the First World War in 1916, but after nearly a year in the AIF (AMC branch) was unable to proceed overseas due to rheumatic fever.

  • Adam Lindsay Gordon - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Adam Lindsay Gordon - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Adam Lindsay Gordon(19 October 1833 – 24 June 1870) Gordon was born at Fayal in the Azores, son of Captain Adam Durnford Gordon who had married his first cousin, Harriet Gordon, both of whom were descended from Adam of Gordon of the ballad. Captain Gordon, who had retired from the Bengal cavalry and taught Hindustani, was then staying at the Azores for the sake of his wife's health. After living on the island of Madeira, they went to England and lived at Cheltenham in 1840. Gordon was sent to Cheltenham College in 1841 when he was only seven, but after he had been there a year he was sent to a school kept by the Rev. Samuel Ollis Garrard in Gloucestershire. He attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in 1848, where he was a contemporary and friend of Charles George Gordon (no relation, later 'Gordon of Khartoum') and Thomas Bland Strange (later known as 'Gunner Jingo'). There Gordon appears to have been good at sports, but not studious and certainly undisciplined – and like Richard Henry Horne, he was asked to leave. Gordon was again admitted a pupil at Cheltenham College. He was not there for long – he appears to have left in the middle of 1852 – but the story that he was expelled from Cheltenham is without foundation. Then Gordon was sent to the Royal Grammar School Worcester in 1852. Gordon began to lead a wild and aimless life, contracted debts, and was a great anxiety to his father, who at last decided that his son should go to Australia and make a fresh start in 1853 to join the mounted police with a letter of introduction to the Governor.

In 1981 Manning Clark claimed that Furphy is ‘the author of a classic which few were to read and no one was ever to establish clearly what it was all about’. Julian Croft observes that Such is Life is a ‘cultural monument’ which is ‘more often referred to than read for pleasure’ since it ‘tests the skill, patience and endurance of those who attempt it’ (TC 275). The demanding nature of the novel, with its unusually complex narrative structure, inter- textual references and playful use of language, can be off-putting to many readers but it has attracted a small number of dedicated followers, who have been largely responsible for the efforts to memorialise Furphy and his contribution to Australian literary culture.

  • Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity
    Australian Elegy: Landscape and Identity by Janine Gibson BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of (Doctor of Philosophy) Deakin University December, 2016 Acknowledgments I am indebted to the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University (Geelong), especially to my principal supervisor Professor David McCooey whose enthusiasm, constructive criticism and encouragement has given me immeasurable support. I would like to gratefully acknowledge my associate supervisors Dr. Maria Takolander and Dr. Ann Vickery for their interest and invaluable input in the early stages of my thesis. The unfailing help of the Library staff in searching out texts, however obscure, as well as the support from Matt Freeman and his helpful staff in the IT Resources Department is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks to the Senior HDR Advisor Robyn Ficnerski for always being there when I needed support and reassurance; and to Ruth Leigh, Kate Hall, Jo Langdon, Janine Little, Murray Noonan and Liam Monagle for their help, kindness and for being so interested in my project. This thesis is possible due to my family, to my sons Luke and Ben for knowing that I could do this, and telling me often, and for Jane and Aleisha for caring so much. Finally, to my partner Jeff, the ‘thesis watcher’, who gave me support every day in more ways than I can count. Abstract With a long, illustrious history from the early Greek pastoral poetry of Theocritus, the elegy remains a prestigious, flexible Western poetic genre: a key space for negotiating individual, communal and national anxieties through memorialization of the dead.
