[1] ALLEN, Mrs. John S.O. Memories of My Life: from my early days in Scotland till the present day in Adelaide. Adelaide, J.L. Bonython, 1906. Octavo, pp. viii, 120 (last blank); old ownership signature in pencil at head of title-page, somewhat used but sound in edge-worn and marked original wrappers, substantially very good. $1650 Rare: an unusual autobiography of a servant who worked her way up to become housekeeper and cook at Government House, Adelaide. At the time this memoir was written Mrs Allen had left employment and ran cooking classes for the ladies of Adelaide. From the dedication page to the last page, runs a tale of bitter memory of her treatment by an unfaithful husband, from whom she was several times separated and left destitute. Consequently, what suggests it might be a uplifting Scots Calvinist tale of hard work and duty rewarded is in fact a very personal document of a woman betrayed by circumstances, people, and life in general. Not cheery bedside reading and probably for that reason of the utmost scarcity. [2] BARCLAY, Henry Vere. Report On Exploration of a Portion of Central Australia by the Barclay-Macperson Expedition, 1904- 1905. Adelaide, J.L. Bonython & Co., “The Advertiser” Office, 1916. Octavo, pp. 28 (last blank), [4] (blank) + a folding sketch map following p. 16; about fine, stapled as issued. $275 First separate edition and very scarce. “In the South-Eastern corner of the Northern Territory, abutting Queensland on the East and South Australia on the South, is a large tract of country abounding in high sand ridges… which have baffled all attempts to cross from east to west or west to east. The object of the Barclay-Macpherson Expedition was to cross from the west side and zig-zag the country, in the hope of finding some traces of the long-lost Leichhardt Expedition… also to ascertain whether a practical watered route exists between Charlotte Waters and a point on the Queensland border, north of Birdsville” (page 3). The expedition was equipped by Ronald Macpherson while the South Australian Government supplied camels. The party included Captain Henry Vere Barclay (Leader and Surveyor), Ronald Macpherson, Edgar Langley, D.S.O., and Mr. T. Miller. Barclay was an apt choice to lead this expedition, having led one in 1878 east from Alice Springs to the Queensland border (following an accident Charles Winnecke assumed command of that expedition). ANB, 3717; Mills, R5. [3] [‘THE BIG LOCKOUT’] BROKENSHIRE BROS. (photographers). R.W. BROOK (annotated by). “Broken Hill, NSW” (manuscript caption) [The Tom Mann train to Cockburn, January, 1909]. Broken Hill, Brokenshire Bros., 1909. Real photo postcard, 87 x 137 mm, printed on Kodak Austral card stock; manuscript caption in bottom blank margin, photographer’s imprint in blind bottom right, long manuscript description signed and dated “9/2/9” on verso, tiny, clean tear in top margin but fine. $1650 Due to falling mineral prices in 1908, Broken Hill Proprietary Limited imposed wage cuts on its workers. The powerful mining unions rejected this and applied to be heard by the new Federal Arbitration Court. With the case scheduled to be heard in February 1909, the company locked out the unionised workers and replaced them with what unionists described as ‘scab’ labour. There were bloody clashes between police and the union pickets between January and May 1909, when the Federal Arbitration Court not only found in favour of the unions but also ordered BHP to actually increase wages. In response, the company closed its operations in Broken Hill for the next two years to avoid paying the increased wages. Tom Mann, the firebrand English unionist who had organised the London dock strike, had arrived at the height of the violence to assist the unionists in January 1909. Mann was arrested on public order charges and was barred from speaking in public in New South Wales. To circumvent this proscription, the ‘Tom Mann train’ carried 4,000 miners along the Silverton narrow gauge tramway to hear him address them across the border in Cockburn, South Australia, on January 31, 1909. On the verso of this card is a long message, manifestly by an eyewitness: “31/1/1909. Broken Hill, N.S.W. “This train consisted of 2 engines, 40 open trucks and 6 carriages, and carried 4000 persons from Broken Hill to Cockburn in South Australia, a distance of 33 miles. Very likely you have heard of the Broken Hill Lockout now proceeding, and the Union Organiser (Tom Mann) is out on bail for an alleged ‘riot’ with a condition that he is not to take any interest in the Lockout or deliver any speeches in New South Wales, so this train was arranged to convey the people into South Australia, where he could speak. The total distance travelled was 66 miles and the fare 2/- return. A profit of 93 pounds was made on the venture. This Train is admitted “Unique” in the history of Australia. “Kind regards, R.W. Brook. 9/2/9”. The photograph (we have been unable to locate another copy) carries the imprint of the early Broken Hill photographers, Brokenshire Bros., who compiled and published Photographic Views of Broken Hill about this time. Joseph Brokenshire, 1877 – 1947, was born in Bathurst, and arrived in Broken Hill in 1888 at the age of eleven. For many years he conducted a pharmacy business in the Broken Hill Coffee Palace building in Argent Street. He left Broken Hill in 1912, later operating as a chemist’s at Sans Souci, Sydney. Brokenshire’s own photographic archive is held by Broken Hill City Council (Alan R. Dunstan and Garry Darby. Joseph Brokenshire: the Epitome of the Struggle. An exhibition of his photographs, Broken Hill Art Gallery, 4 October – 14 October, 1988. Broken Hill City Council, 1988). We have not been able to establish anything further about R.W. Brook who wrote this graphic account of the Tom Mann train. This is a splendid conjunction – an apparently unrecorded image and a eyewitness account of the notorious Big Lockout at Broken Hill, one of the key events in the history of labour relations in Australia. [4] THE BULLETIN. Handy Hints for the Farm: Two Thousand Handy Hints for the Wheatgrower, Sheep- and Cattle-man, Horsebreeder, Pig-Grower, Orchardist and Poultry-raiser. Compiled chiefly from the ‘Land’ and ‘Service’ pages of ‘The Bulletin’. Sydney, The Bulletin Newspaper Company, n.d. but 1940s. Quarto, pp. 96, with (many) illustrated advertisements throughout; number stamped on first and last leaf, signs of use but very good in original wrappers that are a bit chipped and faded. $145 Quite scarce: addressed to the country dweller with advice in many areas that goes beyond agriculture and husbandry and deals with the special demands placed on rural domestic life through distance and isolation. There was another edition, with a significantly altered sub-title, in 1946. The cover sub-title on this edition differs from the title-page (given above): “A Thousand Ways of Improving Yields and Reducing Costs”. [5] BRITISH PAINTS (Australia) Pty Ltd. Design for Colour: A Practical Guide to Home Decoration [wrapper title]. [Sydney, British Paints (Australia) Pty Ltd, 1960]. Quarto, pp. 90, with very numerous colour illustrations, pocket for colour cards bound in after the text; original titling-wrappers, spiral bound, a few marks to the wrappers and other signs of use, a very good, clean copy. $330 Only edition: very scarce and ephemeral. Produced by British Paints and distributed, at a cost of 10/-, through their retail outlets. The home improvement fashion that succeeded the post-war building boom was in full swing and this comprehensive and extensive contemporary guide to selecting and combining the right colours for up-to-date interiors and exteriors was prepared for British Paints largely by the stylists at Macquarie Colour Service. The numerous illustrations consequently are a splendid snapshot not just of fashion in paint colours and combinations but also of the contemporary fashion in ‘ideal’ interior design. This is perhaps the most comprehensive available guide to domestic interiors and colour fashions at the end of the 1950s. The colour card envelope was supplied for customers to preserve the free colour cards they had selected.

  • Down (But Not Out) in the City
    Down (but not Out) in the City JULIAN CROFT, UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND n 1921 when T. S. Eliot published 'The Waste Land', London had in Eliot's imagination turned spiritually and aesthetically into the prospect Macaulay had prophesied in 1840, except that the ruins of London Bridge and St Paul's were metaphysical rather than physical. On the other side of the world, where Macaulay'sI traveller had started from, the prospect was quite the reverse. Sydney was celebrating the new and the modern with an enthusiasm which was to last until the 1970s, and creating a life style in the city and the suburbs which was to provide a tension in poetry and the novel until much the same time. [t had not been always been so. Only a decade or so before Slessor wrote 'Pan in Lane Cove' in 1920, Christopher Brennan and Henry Lawson had seen a very different city. Lawson's 'Faces in the Street', or even Paterson's office-bound im­ aginer of Clancy, saw filth and squalor, heard noise and confusion, and felt the presence of evil. Brennan's Asaheurus-like persona of Poems 7973, experienced a more refined horror in the epilogue to his wanderings through the city of the Sydney. Even the tram up Broadway was an infernal version of Elijah's chariot, taking its passive victim up the hill not towards the bosom of Abraham, but to the flinty mercies of the Senate of Sydney University. In Brennan's poetry spiritual alienation and despair haunt not only the city streets of Sydney, but extend as far as the northern beaches, past the off-limits of Fairy Bower to the sandy impermanences of his house at Newport.

  • Chapter 1 Douglas Stewart
    CHAPTER 1 DOUGLAS STEWART: THE EARLY YEARS 1925-1938 Throughout the many scholarly works that focus on Stewart’s place in Australian literature, the word that recurs in respect of Douglas Stewart’s creative work is ‘versatile’. One of its first appearances is in Nancy Keesing’s Douglas Stewart, which begins with the precise statement: ‘Douglas Stewart is the most versatile writer in Australia today ⎯ perhaps the most versatile who ever lived in this country. He is a poet whose poetry and nature as a poet are central to everything in which he excels’.93 Stewart was not only a poet whose early philosophy that the closer one moves towards nature the closer one moves towards the spirit of the earth, developed as a line of continuity which contributed to his total philosophy; this chapter focuses on Stewart’s life and poetic ambition in New Zealand until his move to Australia as an expatriate in 1938. As a mature poet he was then concerned to apply this pantheism to modern responses regarding humans and their experiences. The purpose of the introductory part of this chapter is to clarify the theme of the dissertation ⎯ Douglas Stewart’s creative impulse; the second part involves a discussion of the poet’s visit to England where he met poets Powys and Blunden. At this time he also journeyed to his ancestral home in Scotland. Upon his return to Australia in 1938 he was offered a position with Cecil Mann at the Bulletin. Stewart was also a distinguished verse dramatist, a successful editor, particularly of the Red Page of the Bulletin from 1940 to 1960,94 and a participant of some repute in journalism and publishing.

  • Mid-Century Responses to Modernism
    Chapter 4.'A Tradition of Conservatism': Mid-Century Responses to Modernism While a number of early to mid-century Australian poets can be shown to have engaged in some of the central debates of modernism, few can be said to have advocated the kind of radical stylistic experimentation and innovation characteristic of European and American modernism. This lack of radical stylistic innovation and experimentation has been noted by numerous critics, and tends to support Tranter's view that Australian poetry before the New Poetry period had been dominated by a 'tradition of conservatism.'1 Martin Harrison has described the work of Australian poets before the New Poetry, noting in their poetry: The certainty of persona-voice, the clarity of ostensive reference, the sup• pression of metaphor and image-reference in the central thought, [and] the resolution of that thought in conclusiveness... ? Alexander Craig, in his introduction to the Twelve Poets anthology in 1971, also pointed to a 'general conservatism or lack of experiment in Australian poetry' which he saw as being 'accompanied by a discursive, over-explanatory dullness in many poems. '3 Harrison's and Craig's views are supported by other critics. According to Julian Croft, neither Slessor, nor Wilmot - the two poets most often associated with modernist innovations - responded to the new stylistic directions for poetry in the twenties.4 While suggesting that Bertram Higgins' poem, '"Mordecaius" Overture' (1933) as Australia's first 'modernist' poem,5 Croft argues that it was not until the late thirties and early forties, with Slessor's 'Five Bells' and R D FitzGerald's poems 'The Hidden Bole,' 'Essay on Memory' and 'The Face on the Waters' that Tranter, The Xew Australian Poetry: xvii.

Although Louis Stone formed his literary ambitions early and pursued themthrough most of his life, his significance depends on ones novel, Jonah, which he published in 1911. Although not. the first Australian urban novel, it is the first to make power in the streets, homes, shops and markets of the city its major theme. Its literary quality comes not only from its almost cinematic descriptions of social reality, but for its symbolic use of urban imagery to represent the nature of good and evil in a secular world. Louis Stone (William Louis [Lewis] Stone) was born in Leicester, UK, 21 October 1871.
